Saw the P.A. that writes my bi-polar meds one day a couple of weeks ago. It was because (1) I thought I was having a manic epsiode and (2) I needed a treatment plan done up to see if Group Supportive Therapy would help.

I had seen the P.A. supervising doctor about a month before for a "normal" review of my meds and such. She was tickled pink when I told her I have mood charts. As was the Supportive Therapy care cooridantor. BUT when I showed the P.A., he looked down his nose at them. Didn't even ask to see them. Then he went on to tell me that what I have been going through the past week wasn't a manic epsiode, it was just from where I was over stressed and wasn't handling it well.

I have heard from others though that this P.A. looks down on everyone else. Has a chip on his shoulder. Stuff like that. I'm really tempted to ask to see a different doctor.

Also, if this Supportive Therapy care cooridantor cancels another appointment with me, whether she calls or not, I'm finding another Mental Health office all together (if anyone else will take my insurance). The front desk people are great, and so was the therapiest that referred me to Supportive Therapy, but the P.A. and care cooridnator are really starting to get under my skin. And something needs to be done because, even though I believe I am starting to control my irribility better, an outburst every other month is unacceptable when it comes to the health and safety of my son.
