"was misdiagnosed for a very long time with major depression that included thoughts of suicide and after medications after medications i finally was reevaluated by a psychiatrist who properly diagnosed me with bipolar disorder and since have been taking trileptal. since starting the medication i have improved drastically and feel much more active and confident in myself and the environment in which i am in. before i was always nervous and anxious and assumed people were against me but now i have allowed people in. i&#039;m getting some emotion back including love. i have been married for years and for the first time in a while i am beginning to feel the happiness the illness had deprived me of. i hope to continue this medication. i&#039;m happy"
