Lots of red flags here. Most importantly, you are just being diagnosed and bipolar is complicated—dont use an assistant. Second, if you are bipolar, anti depressants can send you into hypomania so the dosage has to be just right or avoid them altogether. Third, your explanation of the ptsd part was confusing. If you have ptsd, they might put you on totally different meds, from what Ive heard , than straight bipolar. If you are bipolar with ptsd as well, you absolutely should not have an assistant in my opinion. Ptsd and bipolar are both complicated.
