Welcome. This is a great place to be with lots of support.
www.psycheducation.org is another great place to gather information when you are newly diagnosed (or not; I still go there 17 years into my diagnosis). It's written by a psychiatrist who specializes in bipolar and has tons of good information explained in a way that's easy to understand. It's says BPII but is good for both. Hope to see you around. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

Here are links to DocJohn's articles, from PC's archives, on bipolar disorder & PTSD:

Welcome wheelykpopeonni!
You might be a little overwhelmed by these new diagnoses, but a diagnosis is the first step to managing your illness. Things should look up for you from now on. |
