I think you're right... but maybe not "in denial"... but more like "I don't believe it."

Like right now, I think the bipolar diagnosis is one huge ploy to let big pharma suck my bank account dry, and they're doing this to millions, if not BILLIONS, of people in secret. I mean, why is 1 out of 6 people in the U.S. on psychiatric medication? And why are bipolar Dx rates increasing? Medications are handed out like candy. And since everyone who has bipolar disorder needs to be on medication for life, it is a very VERY clever ploy. Astra-Zenica and other companies are behind all of this, and I bet they have a secret deal with the government.

None of my meds prevent anything, so everything is fake, the diagnosis and all. It's a lie. I don't think anyone is trying to help me. In fact, they are trying to make me worse, which gives them MORE money. It's kinda like, "well, let's prescribe latuda. oh wait, that causes akathisia? well, looks like you're going to need cogentin too to get rid of that akathisia.. and maybe you'll need an anxiolytic to go with it because you may have anxiety about getting akathisia again." that kind of thing

My pdoc is part of the bigger scheme.

I came in for help with ADHD, and what do i get? They give me antipsychotics and mood stabilizers instead. Huh? Since when do I need an antipsychotic or mood stabilizer?

I haven't been taking any of my medications because I refuse to succumb to the clever ploy. I think the govenrment is coerced to turn a blind eye... or possibly just persuaded... bribed. I mean, in the UK, they have caps on medication costs. In the U.S.? Latuda is like $1300 for 1 month's supply. That's why drs prescribe it. It's $1300 for 30 pills. I mean, why did my pdoc start me on latuda? he coul have started me on seroquel, or... idk.. haldol, abilify. but no, he started me on latuda. He was bribed by big pharma to drug me with something useless, but expensive.

All I need is adderall or something like it, not antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, etc..

Hopefully that makes sense.

I started Adderall again and not been taking my other medications. I instantly feel better.
