Patient discussion about modification.

Q. I am scared of bipolar disorder. I have noticed some changes in my behavior few months back, I am scared of bipolar disorder. So please let me know the symptoms of Bipolar disorder?

A. Lixurion is right here, It is vey important to find a good doctor. I have found that GP's (family doctors) are great for colds or stomach aches but when it comes to mental illness they do not know enough to be of sufficiant help to you. Ask to be referred to a psychiatrist, in fact I would ask for a few names you have to find someone you trust.
Your fear is based on a lack of knowlege about bipolar disorder, once you learn the facts about the illness you will no longer fear the illness. there are ways to manage this illness. Start with an accurate diagnosis and move forward to educate yourself as much as possible about the illness, its symptoms and treatments. I will be thinking of you in this time.
The symptoms are as follows:
mania- irritable, spending money, excessive energy, lack of sleep or the need to sleep etc...
Depression- over sleeping, inability to function, lack of interest in thigs you were once important to you, thoughts/planning of suicide..

Q. My Psychiatrist often changes meds whenever I go for check up? Why he keeps on changing meds? I am Lesa/46 with bipolar taking medications regularly. My Psychiatrist often changes meds whenever I go for check up? Why he keeps on changing meds? Do I have serious problem? Help me…

A. another thing for you information is, that i have been asked by iMedix to manage the main topics "bipolar disorder" and "depression" and i did agree. so feel free to ask me what you want, in a chat or in a personal message. thank you!

Q. Please tell me what possible changes in body should I look for, as an indication for a positive sign? I had done my home pregnancy test and found it to be negative and I know they are not much reliable….…….soon I will meet doctor. Please tell me what possible changes in body should I look for, as an indication for a positive sign?

A. i think that pregnancy tests are one of the most reliable test there is...it is considered a 99.99% accurate. and you can also do 2-3 tests from different brands in order to minimize that chance also.
