That 8% are likely bipolar.

  Source? My understanding is the 8% would also include people with just family history.

    Here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2922360/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2922360/ The issue with SSRIs for people who are bipolar is that it can trigger a manic episode.

    They arbitrarily removed SSRI-caused (i.e. NOT latent bipolar) as a subtype in DSM-V. The only reasoning behind this that I could find was a decision by a "round-table" of experts. Most other changes in related categories were substantiated by much more.

  That's an awfully convenient explanation. Many people never develop symptoms, so exposing folks with latent bipolar disorder is still a near criminal offense.
