I watched this show last night on tv and they were interviewing this guy and his wife because he had Bipolar disorder with the wrong diagnosis and when he had a bad med change and he murdered his 2 twin daughters. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in prison. The guy's wife didnt divorce him and still loved him and blamed the psychiatrist he had for the wrong meds and misdiagnosis. I feel sorry for him because the severity of his manic episode and from being on the wrong meds, it just shows what the wrong meds can do to you. I know that also from experience because of when I had my manic episodes..all I have to do is look at my arms and see the scars.

is this really the psychiatrists fault though? Is it not difficult to find a good med balance. Who knows the whole story here. Regardless it's tragic. Simply horrible....

It is very tragic of course. As for the diagnosis, unfortunately, their is an average of 8 years between first being seen by a mental health practitioner and being diagnosed with bipolar. It's most likely to be diagnosed as depression and schizophrenia and that will lead to the wrong meds. It's hard to say that that it is the pdoc's fault though.
