@phoenixhatter SAD is not bipolar disorder - it's its own beast (note the lack of mood disorders on my profile - this is because SAD is not currently listed on Alike). I have bipolar variant of SAD, not bipolar disorder. In the summer, I have to take low-dosage quetiapine. The trouble with quetiapine is it's very touchy. If my levels of quetiapine deviate from what I'm supposed to have in my system, I risk having it stop functioning as a dopamine antagonist and begin functioning as an antipsychotic.

Correction, episodic mood disorder is now on Alike, which is close enough. I dislike its categorization as Bipolar Disorder, because the pathology of SAD and Bipolar Disorder are completely different, but it will suffice

You know what really feels good just tell all your mental health disorders to f off and leave you alone. It helped me bc I was mad at my hyper sexuality disorder which was caused by my ocd so I told my hyper sexuality disorder to f off and now I feel better. I hope this helps all of you with disorders. I have four mental disorders autism bipolar ocd and hyper sexuality disorder I told all my disorders to f off and it made me feel better.
