I have a talk therapist and a psychiatrist. I need a good psychiatrist who knows bipolar 2 and can treat it properly!

I do not care for my psychiatrist whom I have seen 2 times. She says I don't have bipolar. I have taken multiple quizzes during different moods with positive results for bipolar depressive/hypomania. I fit all the symptoms of major depression with hypomania and my family agrees. I don't know what to think any longer.

My psychiatrist changed me over to wellbutrin, zoloft and buspiron. One or more of these has caused me to have tinnitus. (I suspect the wellbutrin) When I brought up the side effects she had no idea that it could happen and does not want to change my meds.

I have tried multiple anti depressants as well as the standard bipolar meds. The bipolar meds kind of work and Effexor was effective but I had more hypomaina events while on it.

Where do I go from here and where do you find good mental help without hospitalization?
