    I’ve got a good friend (who reminds me a lot of Kanye tbh) that contends with bipolar (dunno the type). One of his big struggles is the depressive side. Apparently antipsychotics and antidepressants don’t play well together?

    The point is (assuming what I’ve been told is accurate), besides being a friend and looking out for my buddy, do you have any tips I could pass on for coping with the depressive swings? I’m currently addressing major depression myself, but I’ve got meds to help until I can work through things. I remember the listless ennui when depression would strike, but I never developed adaptive behaviors before being diagnosed and getting meds
