I'm unsure about my shrink. She says I'm bi-polar but I just don't know. She says my confusion stems from the fact that I'm not classically bi-polar but just fall somewhere on the spectrum. What the heck does that even mean? If I show any emotion at all she ups my meds. Right now it's not so bad because she did start at REALLY low doses but it's only a matter of time until she has me zombied out. I'm going through a lot right now and would love to be able to just talk to her but our conversations consist of "How have you been feeling?" If my answer is ANYTHING other than fine her response is "Hmmmm. Why don't we notch up you're Risperdal and Lamictal? Next time I see you tell me if that helped." I've tried to switch shrinks but the next closest one I can go to that my insurance will cover is a 40 minute drive from my house and I'm not willing to drive almost an hour and a half both ways to see a shrink.
Does anyone else seem to have this problem where their doctor doesn't want any answer other than fine? Do all shrinks just push meds until the problem "goes away"? I'm just unsure if I even have this and more unsure of her treatments. Just curious about others experiences. I mean is this typical?
