Re. the meds anti depressants often send people with bipolar high or arent particularly effective the aim with the mood stabiliser is to stabilise the highs and the lows (some bipolar sufferers will very rarely have highs whilst others will very rarely experience lows)
I got diagnosed back in 2009 and it did change my life HOWEVER the label bipolar didn't but the circumstances (a manic episode) did. Since then it's been up and down but it's not the label but the mood swings and getting help has helped put things into perspective.
