My VA Psychiatrist would like to prescribe depakote for me as a mood stabilizer, I exhibit no wild mood swings but have been diagnosed with Quote a Reality disorder. I have explained my reality was changed by both the Military and a direct affiliation with a Media comppany through my marriages. Much has been related to and I will attribute to the Performing Arts Industry . I am also a creative writer who trys to think outside the Box , to say something in my own defense. Ones reality is relative to others I have talked with w/ the similar situations I have faced; much is explained with the reality in life w/ death.
