bipolar disorde
"I was consumed with depression, anxiety, fear, rage, and compulsive behavior since I entered puberty. I was sent to psychologists who could not help me because my issues were entirely chemical. After years of failed treatment, I self-medicated with alcohol which landed me in jail. I finally went to a psychiatrist who put me on Lamictal. I am a healthy, peaceful, and productive person for the first time in my life. I know I would not be here if it were not for this medication. Other than severe dehydration, after 3 years I have experienced no adverse effects."
