I was misdiagnosed by a D.O. He said I had adjustment disorder caused by working in a stressful work environment. He pointed out my caseload was probably too high and I was being given deadlines that were nearly impossible to meet...all were true. He started me on a antidepressant and had me start seeing a therapist. I started to get worse and told the therapist that I was sure my dx was wrong. She told me that she looked over my chart and it was right....that the dx was correct. I continued to get worse and flipped to full mania and was then correctly dx by a pdoc with BP1. Afterwards I filed a complaint with the medical license board against the D.O. Then the therapist I went and spoke with her supervisor. In her case notes she noted I acted manic yet she never made an attempt to further help me. I file a complaint with the license board against her too. I flat told her I disagreed with my dx. Point being therapist do not know everything they "are not" a pdoc. The only person I listen to are pdocs. I know absolutely that I have BD 1. I'm not proud of it but it's something that I've accepted. I was stable for a good period of time. Now I'm under a lot of stress and the season has changed so I'm symptomatic right now
