Sounds like a good Appt .

Here is what I think and know from my own dealings.. We have the gigantic internet to browse and learn about any illness on this planet. Pdoc's know that. If you had answered every question with a "text book" answer, alarm bells would have gone off in his head. Since Bipolar is unique to everyone your responses are going to be varied from the last person or the next one.

Most all Doctors are overjoyed that people read up on a possible condition and especially about Psych meds. My Pdoc and I have made decisions together about what medications to try and which ones I will not under any circumstances go on.

Maybe your diagnosis will stay a BP 2 maybe it will change , who knows. The biggest issue is you sought out help for problems you are having.

I am pretty certain your next appt will be much easier to go too.
