A member asked:
If you have borderline personality disorder, could antidepressants send someone into hypo/mania (as they would with someone with bipolar)?

SHOULD NOT: No an antidepressant ought not to send someone into mania unless they have a propensity for this disorder already.

Perhaps: Some antidepressants are more likely to trigger a manic episode - Mirtazapine for example - speak to your doc.
