I was prescribed 20mg for depression in January. However following a visit to an occupational health specialist, work referred me due to absences, the specialist is concerned that as I described feeling worse since taking the meds and there have been a couple of instances in my history of mania. She believes I'm bipolar.

She requested I return to my GP and tell her everything I told occupational doc. And said I have to attend counselling and visit a psychiatrist.

I have no experience of a psychiatrist and was hoping some of you might share your experiences.
