I've never actually been offered a formal diagnosis by any of the mental health professionals I've seen over the years.  However, one did suggest that there might be a Bipolar aspect to my condition. I don't know...  Good luck with the clinic. It sounds like an exciting possibility!   |
----Skeecyks--i have really admired your posts. You seem very wise. But i am astonished to see you saying no one gives you a diagnosis. What medicatioN is proscribed depends on that, especially now that they know that antidepressants have to be watched so closely for bipolars. Some of us are very suggestible, but especially if you might change docs, you need to be able to tell them what the diagnosis was. They have to list it for the insurance. You can insist that they tell you, and you sound like you can handle it, so i think you should. Hugs!
