Ive been in the mental health system for about five years now, been on meds just as long, and have had 5 outpatient psychiatrists, all say bipolar or schizoaffective probably because the first said bipolar. I have also seen several doctors during hospitalizations and its always bipolar/schizoaffective and PTSD. Ive just been diagnosed with PTSD a couple years ago because that's when I stopped keeping my trauma history a secret. I do not trust my pdoc very much and have been seeing him for about 6 months. I havent seen my therapist in a few months, but I go to groups when I feel the need.
