"It proclaims that 9 out of 10 persons with #bipolar disorder became that way as a result of taking #antidepressants. "
Lol this is just so far off base I don't even know where to start aha a lot of people in this world have been diagnosed bipolar without being any prior medications period... That is definitely not a 'fact' haha

Yes. I agree. The article is extremely biased. That's why I don't comment on it.
However, I can tell you from my first hand experience that there is an issue with antidepressants causing bipolar disorders and/or manic episodes. Maybe it's 1 in 10. Maybe it's 1 in 100. Who knows? I also highly doubt it's 9 out of 10. I just wanted to communicate that it is a real side effect that does affect some individuals.
