Most who would be BP2 in USA are depressed here and treated without mood stabilizers. Jimi all bp whether 1 or 2 is treated with mood stabilizers here. It was a disaster when my husband was given just anti-depressants. He was in a continues mixed state.

Axiom,
I'm a person that needs constant reminder why to take meds. I have talked about my Dx. 3 times in 3 yrs. all the other times it was brushed over. My therapist is very vague. First meeting with pdoc he told me my dx. First meeting with T she asked why it said with psychosis. Like I'm suppose to know why. Later I pushed her and she read me what the computer said. Recently I pushed her again because I'm moving and needed it for my new team. She was going to read off the again and I told her no I wanted her opinion. She still weaseled out of it but I enjoy her ability to do that. She did tell me what to put on the paper. I would say you want to start filling out your claim for disablity and needs to know your Dx.
