One of my closer friends was diagnosed with Bipolar Type II as a teenager. She stopped taking meds due to the side effects in her early 20s.

Recently, she was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety disorder & PTSD. She was very surprised to find that her new psychiatrist didn't find that she met the criteria for Bipolar. She's still struggling to find the right med combination- so any positive thoughts you can send her way would be great.

I accept that I have Bipolar. I've had thoughts, "are my meds necessary?" I think it's part of the route to accepting what you have- it's normal to question it. If you keep having those reoccuring thoughts, I'd definitely bring it to the attention of your p-doc.
