Last week I went to a new Psychiatrist, because I hated the last one... and my Psychologist and I were realizing maybe it's not depression...but ADD or something else.
A little bit of background here, my previous Psychiatrist talked with me for only a half hour the first time we met and she perscribed meds for depression. Follow ups were only 15 minutes every 6 months after that. I talked with the new one for 2 hours and told her EVERYTHING! Amazingly I was very comfortable with her and was able to tell her about it all. I'm not saying it wasn't difficult, but it was like I really clicked with her and felt like she was someone I could really tell everything to. She diagnosed me with ADD, and anxiety disorder. She says that my periods of depression are caused by anxiety. I've always had very extreme emotions in both directions. When I'm happy I'm really happy and when I'm sad I'm REALLY sad. She also said there might be a slight possibility of being bipolar. She perscribed Adderall, Lamictal, and 5htp... and is going to slowly take me off of my Wellbutrin. I'm really happy with the results, because lately I've been so frustrated about how I've been feeling and the path I have been following hasn't been working. Anyhow... just thought I'd share. |
