I completely understand where you're coming from. IMHO one of the most important parts of bipolar treatment is PREVENTING episodes, which means continuing treatment even if things seem to be going well, so that symptoms can be caught early. It might make sense to scale down the frequency of appointments, but not to drop a patient completely. Suppose another episode creeps up, and you have to enter a waiting list for 6 months plus. By then it will be too late. By the time emergency services are necessary, it's too late. I hate when treatment providers are so short sighted and it results in preventable episodes getting completely out of hand. Sorry for the rant but this stuff pisses me off because it happened to me, too. I hope I'm just overreacting and they won't actually do this.
