Yes, I was recently diagnosed with bipolar but I also have D.I.D

I have both with epilepsy . I have to keep my feelings in check. I have read that emotions come out with epilepsy. Get down real easy if I don't stay busy..

I'm not sure I'm not bipolar ( I dont think ) but I can snap in a heartbeat I got on zoloft to calm me down and it works for me good luck.

Yes I have both.
Epilepsy since 1974
Depression/bipolar 2012
The way it was explained to me . 20% people with epilepsy have depression issues. 20 % of the people with depression have epilepsy. There are studies for that right now.

Also some of the drugs we take have that as side effect.
If you have any other condition or family history that could play into it as well
For example I just developed ms. Depression is part of that.
Someday .. I believe someone will find all these illnesses are somehow linked.
Maybe we cure them all at once
(Thats just a personal opinion with wishful thinking perhaps)
