Some say that Bipolar mania is caused from a B-12 deficiency. If that be the case would B-12 sublingual correct that problem. As are B-12 injections so much more potent than B-12 sublingual?

I need a model for a depression project inside of science. My project is on dysthymic, bipolar, chronic, and long term depression. Can you help?

I’d like treatments of it, sources, and a picture of the brain’s area that is affected. Do you know where I can find it, or have answers?
Can anyone show me a picture of the hippocampus, a part of the brain that controls memory and emotions, before and after depression strikes?

I have chronic mixed moods – I have maybe 5 days a month where it isn’t so bad. Otherwise, there are many days where it hurts so much, I am suicidal. I have run out of treatment options, but maybe my psychiatrist (& 3 more at the local hospital) hasn’t tried everything . I don’t think I can get into the university hospital for help, because they are full & I have no way to get there (they are 150 miles away & I can’t drive in the city when I am crying, my husband is legally blind). My psychiatrist says to go there, but I have to try and get in by myself. Or go to NIMH (national institute of mental health, in washington DC), and she would try & get me into a program there. I dunno how to get there tho. I still gotta drive 150 miles to the airport on freeways I’m not familiar with, then get to NIMH somehow. So these options seem impossible for me. I get upset driving & haven’t flown since 9/11.

So anyway, I’m looking for other things to try. So what has worked for you?
I’ll add, I am already on lamictal and lithium, and they are doing no good (lithium has been a good antimanic agent in the past, but doesn’t help me with the mania associated with mixed moods). I have tried abilify, depakote, risperdal, tegretol, seroquel, and oh so many others. But I am hoping maybe someone has had a novel treatment or combo that has worked. I am allergic to tegretol and abilify. I have been trying very hard for 13 years since I was diagnosed.

Ok, so my knowledge on medicine or psychology for that matter is limited and the fact that i im 15 adds to that.However i need to know.

What is the duration of lithium treatment?
Is it Lifelong?

Treatment for Bipolar Disorder

I have been diagnosed Bipolar for 21yrs. I have tried several different treatments and meds w/o success in finding the exact one that is appropriate for me. I would like to find someone who is educated in this diagnosis for email support.

Where would I find such a person willing to share?
