I agree your old pdoc sounds like a quack, I remember when I was a teenager and was in a psych hospital because of my bipolar, mixed then I was 14 and a pastor was called to talk to me, lived in the Bible Belt then and he thought if I prayed hard enough it would take the evil spirits away, he didn't say it like that but he pushed and pushed for me to save myself, I was already saved, but he thought he could just take everything away in one fell swoop, well I am sorry it doesn't work like that, my brain chemistry was all out of whack and no prayers from him were going to quiet my sick mind back then, although I do still believe in God that experience opened my eyes. I am glad you found someone good and you feel comfortable with your new pdoc, hope the new meds help and you are back to recovery! Lela
