So I went there. They had issues starting my intake. They finally got it kinda working. So like always intake takes 2x as long. So it looks like schizoaffective - bipolar type because we spent more time on psychosis than mood swings.
Okay so I was asked what my previous DX was I said last one was bp 1 w. psychosis w. history of anorexia before that it was Mood disorder NOS, Eating disorder NOS. That's when she sat back and said those are way different Dx.'s. Which one did I believe I told her BP1 w. psychosis because I hated the other lady she dx'd me x, then A, then Y..... I swear she had me in one big mixed episode for 2 years. I'm more worried about SZA-Bipolar type.
She asked me how long my symptoms we're? I don't know from birth. I told her that because my siblings went through the same thing it wasn't that bad. I just ignore it. I have my dog there to tell me if there's a real threat because I hear better then my family but the dog will always hear better then me. I take the PRN when I can't sleep because It feels like there's bugs on me. Which I was taking full time before my head decided it had to randomly turn to the left. Went into detail about how PRN became full time and the lack of understanding English at times. She checked if I could understand English right then. I explained how I work around that but I was fine and I wasn't going to take the PRN again because that **** can be permanent. I was questioned about what the seroquel was for- To sleep as
She asked about my resent symptoms. I explained the whole fun summer thought I had and then continued backwards from there. I told her I'd only go back a year but this was all while I was taking meds properly. My last mood swing being in March - depression.
We went through parents and siblings- mental/ drug history, my husband's mental / drug history, my son's mental/drug history, my friend's mental/drug history, my mental/ drug history, socialization (yes, I mentioned PC), past psych meds, what viibyrd is, then she got to the good, fair poor rating system. She specifically wasn't appreciative of the being fine after 3 hours of sleep a night since stopping the PRN and that I'm still surviving off of the left overs when my script was suppose to run out a month ago. ( 3 yrs. of skipped meds.) we talked about my distaste of AP's, being irrationally petrified of the hospital and the good that comes from that, my seemingly inability to follow drs. orders, my school years, interests, attributes. She didn't like most of my yes/no questions being "not currently". She even stopped and asked if we had to make a safety plan when "not currently" was an answer to are you a "harm to others, are you a harm to yourself" and I had to go into more detail.
I finish the biopsychosocial assessment Monday, then have an hour long psych exam, and THEN I can help make my treatment plan. I think they want to see if I'm sleeping better by then. I got a book of all there services in the waiting room. They don't have PHP so I didn't even ask.
I forgot. They found my former pdoc ( the one I liked but moved) and they're going to consult with him before Monday.
