Welcome to PC...

There are some specific tests; however, I'm not sure I would worry about the documentation...if you saw both professionals and they are agreeing...I think you have your answer...

Fair price...I would imagine that varies...if you do not want Miltary...many therapists...will help make fees manageable.

It sounds like you are taking meds...if you have been prescribed meds typically used for people who suffer from bipolar...again I think you have a pretty good idea.

It's tough...you want to know...put a label on it...but really the label isn't as important as seeing someone to get everything "stabilized"...I have found a Pdoc and T work the best combination especially if there is exchange of information.

I think I'm rambling ... I'm a bit off today .... kind on auto pilot... while taking the kids to school...I was heading to work...other examples but that will get off topic.
