I think most of us have done a lot of research on mood disorders, meds, therapy, etc

--

I def knew more about BP and mood disorders than my first therapist. She was totally inept. She kept telling me that I didn't know what depression was, and that there was "no way I'm depressed". But mood disorders weren't her specialty, so I give her that. She was still dumb though.

I think I knew more about BP than my 2nd therapist too. I had to teach him a few things, but he was an asshole. Thank god I'm not with him anymore.

I think my current pdoc knows more about BP than I do. I think he knows more about meds too, but sometimes I feel I'm more educated about certain meds than he is.
