I do think therapy is a good option, too, to check into. It can't fix the chemistry directly, but it can be more long lasting with fewer side effects than the drugs...
Seems lately a lot of doctors want to dx bipolar rather than depressed/anxious, or treatment resistant depression. {shrugs} Whatever. Bottom line is, itdoesn't matter what the dx is, as long as the medications are helping you. Or, if the meds aren't helping, that your doctor is working with you to find something that does work.
And I wasn't trying to focus on the girl. Your post made it clear that you were talking more generally. That was a slightly separate issue -- just because I have strong memories of myself when I was younger, and always wish I could protect others from having to go through what I did...
