Is There Anyway I Can Be Positive That I Am Bipolar Disorder?
Question by Suzanne: Is there anyway I can be positive that I am bipolar disorder?
A year and a half ago my parents suggested that I was bipolar. I went to a highly reknowed PyschoPharmacolgist. I filled out a ton of forms and the Dr. said I am Bipolar. My “symptoms” include severe depression, horrible money management skills, and poor decision making skills. No Manic episodes. I am a recovering alcoholic sober for 3 years. For the first time in my life I was fired in February. Due to performance issues. I have a problem with my memory mainly that I don’t have one. Also, I can’t concentrate or focus. I take six different meds and I don’t feel like they are doing me any good. I feel like since I was diagnosed BP and started taking all of these meds that everything has gone down hill. I know you aren’t a doctor. I just want to hear your thoughts. Is there anyway I can find out that I definitely am BP or not? Has anyone felt “normal” after being diagnosed? If you do feel normal could you tell me what meds you are taking email me at [email protected].
