I do think you need to switch. If you don't know of others in your area, contact your insurance, they will have a list. Make sure you request psychiatrist and not psychologist (psychiatrist are the med docs or pdocs.) You should not stay with a provider that makes you feel that way. Absolutely not.

I have trouble getting from one setance to another. Not always but sometimes. I don't like any doctor who says "this and this and this is the only way you get this." As you see on the forum we are all similar and yet completely different at the same time. There is not a box big enough to contain bipolar.
