I have a great therapist who is very helpful. My psychiatric nurse is very nice, but doesn't seem to know much about treating bipolar. She also doesn't listen or seem to understand that even though I present well, inside I'm a mess (at times). For instance, she put me on Brintellix and it did absolutely nothing to help the depression. I had to have another round of ECT to get out of it (which she suggested). Yet a couple of months later she said "well the Brintellix seemed to be helping". Um what? You don't remember me crying in your office saying I was afraid I was going to drive my car off the road?

But she's nice enough and listens when I have my own led suggestions. So I stay with her. My other Pdoc was kind of stern and very eager to hospitalize me when things got tough. I'll stick with my nurse.
