Appointments, medication, therapy and what to expect!
I FORGOT TO MENTION IN THE VIDEO. Appointments now with my Psychiatrists last less than 5 minutes it is not hard and now that a lot has gone virtual I only have to go into see my doctor in person 2x a year before I had to go into the office and now 2 appointments can be via zoom or any others I need.
I also forgot to mention how hard counseling can be. Finding a therapist when you are Bipolar can be a challenge. We get turned away and sometimes dumped because of our diagnosis. Counselors do not understand our mental illness the same way psychiatrists do. At the same time Psychiatrists are not counselors and typically don't offer too much more than medication management. Your appointments are for making sure the medication you are on is working. The medication doesn't fix everything it's a tool to help us prevent further incidents. I've said before those of us with BP1 can harm others including ourselves with some of the reckless behavior we participate in (speeding, unprotected sex, etc..) There is no treatment without medication.
Thank you guys for watching for all your love and support I appreciate it so much. You all also make me feel less alone and give me the drive to keep making videos in hopes of helping to spread awareness. xoxo -Steph
