I was 17 when I had my first psychic episode. But I hid it and carried on. That’s what I was taught.

Then when I was 28 my husband beat me badly and I had to go to the ER they set up an appointment for me with a psychiatrist. He diagnosed me with PTSD and major depression., atypical. After about 6 months he talked me into ADs

My life at that point devolved into chaos and homelessness and a revolving door of hospitals. Multiple diagnosis but mainly ptsd and bipolar but they still gave me ADs

Then I went no meds just a therapist. Got the PTSD resolved but still had problems with the bipolar. After a very bad episode I voluntarily sought out a psychiatrist and said no ADs and got put on my current cocktail which has worked now over 10 years.
