I'd agree with Dan. Sometimes it is a long process; getting a dx. For me, I had to go through an intake person (an hour and 15 minute interview; basic stuff.) Then I had to go through and interview evaluation with a case manager on another day, four weeks later. She asked much more indepth questions, we talked about medical history, past episodes, family history, etc. This took about two hours. She then scheduled me with a Psychiatrist three weeks after that. Then, I met with pdoc. She looked over all of my intake, interview info then asked me her own questions as she took notes for 45 minutes. Then, concluded the meeting with her suggestions for a treatment plan and a dx of BP, she suspects Bipolar II.

If you feel like you will benefit from treatment of some sort, you need to schedule an appointment and get the ball rolling. Good Luck, lil miss.

be gentle with yourself.
you are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
