3. I saw my old NP and she put in that I had major depression even though I clearly told her about my manic episode and that my therapist and pdoc both said that it was mania. Every time I’ve been on mono therapy with an antidepressant I notice no real improvement.
Make. It. Make. Sense.
Idk I’m just really irate about my old NP & how my life got so messed up over this & being treated for the wrong condition.

I have lost faith in psychiatry and psychotherapy to the point at which I don't think I'll ever truly trust those people again. No more "miss nice." Uh-uh.
That said, it is wonderful that your current pdoc gets it, and that Depakote is helping you! It does help a lot of people.
I am beginning to suspect that they push for AP's so their patients will be quiet and cooperative.
