The Lamictal Diaries: Treating My Psychotic Depression

The Lamictal Diaries is a mood tracker and side effect diary as I titrate up to a therapeutic dose of lamictal/lamotrigine for major depressive disorder with psychotic features. Or maybe it's bipolar II. Or "mood spectrum disorder". To ice the cake, I have comorbid adult ADD.

My Other Writings on Mental Illness

My other writings on the topic of mental illness include several writings on Squidoo: When A Loved One Is Mentally Ill, My Brush With Psychotic Depression, Living With Mental Illness, Treating Mental Illness, and Myths and Facts About Mental Illness.
