I am sorry to hear about your situation. With her depression is she a rapid cycler or slow? Does it always seem like she is just a step below what a 'normal' person would define as happy when she is not cycling? Has she ever had long periods of time where she described herself as just being content but not completely happy? I am surprised no Dr has diagnosed her with dysthymia. It's a 'mild' depression (compared to bi-polar disorder) that affect mainly women. Though it is kind of mild compared to other disorders it can wreck havoc in a R. I know because I have been with 2 people with the disorder including my current W.
