I’m bipolar 1 when I moved back to my hometown( small) there were no pdoc available, so I had to tell my general Md doc about the bipolar and ask him to continue the meds. He was amazed I was bipolar cause I was “sane” calm rational. I told him I was stable on my current meds and doing well. I think he always had some level of doubt that I was really bipolar. Even though I signed papers for my medical history to be transferred and my hospitalizations were on there. The ignorance is sad.
