I would not question mine if I had symptoms “before” being put on meds. Today I spoke to a friend that works at NAMI. Her daughter has bipolar one. She said her daughter had symptoms from an early age. First the psychiatrist thought she had ADHD. Then later in middle school the stimulants made her worse. She took her back to the psychiatrist and he figured out she had bipolar one. My point is her daughter had symptoms even before taking meds.
I called my primary care doctor’s office and left a message requesting a refer for a psychiatrist (MD or PhD).
