I am curious how many of us with Bipolar disorder have had concusions or brain damage due to drugs. My psychiatrist once brought up that they are finding out in new studies that some people who are diagnosed with BP disorder are misdiagnosed as they actually have brain damage.
I was once knocked out when falling out of a car when my angry friend drove off before I had the door shut. I also used to use alot of the drug ecstasy and lsd which takes a major toll on the brain.
Anyone else have similiar experiences?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Interesting speculation... though sometimes BP can run in families too. Could be just one more factor to consider....
It was 12 months after that I had my first depressive episode and six months after that I attempted suicide for the first time. I've been experiencing depression on and off ever since.
I was also diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 5, after having a seisure and was on tegretol for a couple of years.
I have never been a drug user/addict though.
cheers...
