when i run into a recalcitrant doc, i like to take in a lot of documentation to overwhelm them,, and if they dismiss it, i ask them to sign saying they read it.... oh that puts the wind in their sails~!

there must be a 'Bi-Polar Symptoms Questionnaire' online somewhere, that you could use for a basic reporting framework.... " yes, i have this, no i don't have that.... this goes on X amount of time, etc."

you'd be surprised what knowing that they have been informed in writing does to a doctor's attention span. with any luck, s/he'll refer you to someone who does care~!
best wishes~
