Bipolar and autism

I have both diagnoses. I'm sure they're both right for me though. The episodic and extreme nature of my mood fluctuations, together with psychosis - hallucinations and delusions fit bipolar. There are sometimes years when I have no symptoms. Then there's the fact that the meds seem to work which implies a psychotic illness not just a neurodivergent condition. A psychiatrist should be able to unpick the situation. If you have episodes when things are worse/better try timing appointments to coincide.

also all the medicine , Abilify , Risperidone made me super Depressed and constantly have Migraines that caused me to be zombified , I am off all meds , They have me on gabapentin for Anxiety and it helped a lot But i haven't refilled it Since i smoke *insert Leaf emoji*

ME TOO ! I dont get episodes , but i ams definitely autistic , I love Cats

According to the NAS:

"We do not know how many autistic people have bipolar disorder. Some studies estimate between 5 and 7%, compared with an estimated rate of 1% in the general population. More research is needed."
