it could help i think… you seem to have a persistent delusion about the ship thing, i think it would help. could be a form of mania which a mood stablizer might help.

Yes that’s possible.

I already bought the mood stabilizer and took 1 pill.

I used to take mood stabilizer 9 years ago when at the beginning of this illness I had mood swings.

I dont know if it works immediately.

Depression with grandeur: mixed episode?

I made a quick research online and they say that feeling grandiose and depressed or hopeless at the same time is mixed type

I’ve been manic but only when I was prodromal

One episode of mania is enough for diagnosis of bipolar 1

I don’t really operate with that diagnosis.

Nobody talks to me about my manic period tbh

A nurse on the ward once told me full on mania is very rare. That hypomania is way more common.

I am not sure what to think of that tbh. It seemed to diminish a lot of folks experiences.

Also most people who get grandiose delusions end up on a mood stabilizer

Maybe it also helps sz but atleast from what ive seen manic people tend to get alot more grandiose delusions
