do you actually feel benefit from medicines long term? and other issues

Didn't he say he didn't think BP II exists, but does believe BP I exists?

I think I misread something. Sorry.

Isn't that just even more bizarre?

how much longer do you have to see this jerk? can you call you regularly psychiatrist and do med. maintenance over the phone until you come back? This gotta be something that you can do so that you don't have to see him ever, ever again.I'm really sorry that you're going through this. He really should not be a doctor.

yes, I mistyped. Sorry.

Okay, I'm seeing him again tomorrow because I didn't really have much of a choice in the matter. Maybe I'll be able to clear up some of this nonsense. Hopefully. I will end up reporting him if he is actually like this and not just a huge misunderstanding or something.

MM: I have to see him probably twice more, including tomorrow. Summer is almost over thank goodness.

There is a lot of controversy out there re meds and more to come. Healthcare reform, new treatments, etc. Not stating a position here. Just noting that there is no magic pill. I have been on various cocktails off and on for many, many years. Some have worked well, some not, some nightmarish and hurtful. Could just about say the same with treatments and pdocs and therapists. But despite uncertainty, i really believe it's wise to seek help and try to come up with your own set of coping skills. YOU are worth fighting for. Hang in there!
