Has your doctor ever said anything about
body dysmorphic disorder? Do you notice
any specific features of yourself that you
hate?
First of all, depression does occur with
bipolar disorder. Also, anxiety can be
common with both. So you probably have
some symptoms of all three happening.
If you're still feeling lousy on your
medication, you should see your doc again
and ask if you can adjust medication.
