Does the stage of life in which you get ill determines your prognosis and course of the illness? For example a person who gets ill after graduating from college and working several years will be more equipped to face life than a person who got ill and never worked (getting ill in the college stage of life or before)??

Why hello out there! I'm Meh - not my real name. I was diagnosed bipolar 2 three years ago - when I was 47. What can I say, I'm a late bloomer. I had been under treatment for depression for about 10 years before that and always felt something else was going on. After a heart to heart with my psychiatrist, and a threat to leave from my wife, I went on Lamictal, in addition to the Wellbutrin I was already on. Since then it's been up and down but thankfully a lot of time right in the middle. I worry about losing my creative edge, losing who I am, being a hap-hap-happy person, and about losing my mind. Mostly I worry. Anyway - nice to meet you all.
