Dear Yonath~
I'd like to join Summer Rose in welcoming you here, also thank you for introducing me to Lord Dunsany, soldier, fantasy writer, associate of Yeats and Kipling, and crack shot. A most interesting gentleman.
I'm glad you are enjoying life at the moment and sympathize with your experience of a low grade depressed picture over a long term. I'd imagine considering your occupation and specialization that must make it hard at times
Your original namesake prophesies "only seek not concerning the wherefore of the making of the gods." May I ask if you feel it is unnecessary to see your own doctor with a view to confirming your diagnosis?
I do not pretend to know enough about mania, hypomania, depression and bipolar to ask intelligent questions but do wonder if it might be useful to have an outside perspective on the effect your current elevated mood might be having on your judgment in general.
Please excuse me if my question seems intrusive or exhibits lack of understanding.
The reason I ask is with a completely different set of mental conditions I find the opposite, my judgment is at times skewed towards the the worst possible outcomes and I do not realise this until another gives me a more realistic view. Without that external view I might act as if my own beliefs were fact, which on many occasions would have been unfortunate.
On another matter you might find one of our long-term threads of interest

I echo Summer Rose's kind thoughts
