Wow, I know that it *should* be, but I've never heard that. Really? That's encouraging. Who is it that considers it thus? Insurance or ???
Nonfat dry human, I go to the local NAMI bipolar support group and have found it a good resource (especially as I've got nothing but my meds right now )-- no p-doc, no T -- I *want* them, I just can't seem to get in anywhere, which is very frustrating, so it's good to at least have *something*, you know? --(big move too, and know no locals outside my NAMI group.) So I totally understand your frustration in hitting a wall in something we'd assume to not do that! Check out the local NAMI though. The only "restriction" --for ours anyway -- is a desire to get help/better, which with the hell BP can be is not a hard "requirement" to fulfill.)
and let us know how it goes, ok?
