hi im new.
my current diagnosis is major depression but i think its bipolar and my psychiatrists havent yet ruled it out. I get months of depression and then Hypomania for about a week.
so anyway i read on the booklet 'secret life of a manic depressive' that sleep deprivation is likely to induce mania. In fact it is one of the fastest ways of inducing mania.
My mania fortunately feels fantastic and makes me productive and creative so im thinking of trying sleep deprivation out. Im so sick of this depressed phase.

probably not a good idea trying this is you have type 1 though
