Hello, I've not been diagnosed but I feel sure that I have allot of the symptoms of bipolar, though I always put my behaviour down to just hyperness. The thing is that when I am hyper, it gets too much in the end, too high, too fast etc. I can write forever, do loads, I can also get really really irritable, not violent but very volatile. The lows are very bad but I walys just thought they wre the usual ups and downs we get in life but I dont know ...
Basically, I was discharged from the mental health team last year and though I've asked to be rerefered as I was feeling down again, I got a swift no. As my mood changes really get me down and exhasut me I am seiously considering going private to see if I do indeed have bipolar (or even better, have my mind put at rest
. Does anyone know who I should see to get a diagnosis? Is it a consultant psychiatrist? I looked on the website for this private company and they charge £200. an hour for a consultant psychiatrist! And I'm on DLA ouch!!!!
Thanks for listening (or reading) any input would be very gratefuly recieved.
Hugs & nice thoughts
