Kati's youtube channel has a wealth of information.
I'm curious how many times you have seen your psychiatrist before he diagnosed you, and if you have therapeutic sessions with the pdoc or if they just do meds. Where I go the pdocs do meds only except for the first session where they question your history and symptoms. You could probably benefit from seeing a therapist too, and it would give you two points of view about your diagnosis. |
Yo thanks for the videos btw! I watched them plus a bunch of her other videos and she explains things so well! I think I might actually have psychosis sometimes because i do have very disorganized thinking at times but I had always thought of psychosis as just hallucinations so that is why I immediately wrote it off. I also believe I have Bipolar II disorder after watching the video which is what my psychiatrist thinks I have, so at least I am finally on the right path to treatment. I am almost 22 years old and have been in the system since I was like 13 years old. I can't believe I have even made it this far. I feel like I got lucky in a lot of respects in my life so that's why I am still here. It is so frustrating though knowing how long it has taken for me to be properly diagnosed! I can't imagine if my life was extra crummy on top of my disorder, I might not be alive today...
