I am being treated for Bipolar depression.My symptoms are lethargy, social anxiety, withdrawal, and extremes of mood which can lead me to be randomly violent, (I feel compelled to break objects) I have been in trouble with the police because of it, this makes me feel really sad as I was always well behaved in my youth.I believe I got here as a result of simply a chemical inbalance in the brain (Serotonin - I take antideppressants Dosulepin Hydrochloride 75mg) and life events, bereavement, unemployment, social isolation. I also take a mood stabiliser called Tegretol which helps to a degree, but I have found my body has got used to it.Would I benefit from taking another mood stabiliser instead, perhaps Lithium, is anyone out there on this med? I believe my behaviour is bordering "Psychotic" as opposed to "neurotic".When is this line crossed?
What is the significance of Dopamine in mental illness? would I benefit from taking Olanzapine or Chlorpromazine hydrochloride?
