Thanks for your information on this. I've read some things that all mental disorders have the exam, other places I read say only sometimes. My memory is not great anymore, I think from lamictal but I could be wrong, but basic cognitive stuff I do OK with when I'm well. I've actually hit a nice normal period the last several days which feels great. This is the stage where I don't think I have bipolar and I want to work. I also know, that these periods last 2 weeks tops and then the cycle starts over again, and another month or two has passed. But back to this consultation, how long did it take for others and what did they ask? My dx now is BP1 with rapid cycling. I'm on Lamictal 400, risperdal 2, klonopin 0.5. PRN risperdal and klonopin when I need it.
