I saw my psych and asked him that. I ased him since I had been diagnosed with bipolar if that meant I didn't have ADHD. He told me that it may but that I may have both. He said that if I have both the bipolar needs to be treated first and then the ADHD but that he still wasn't going to medicate me for the AdHD because of the bad reaction I had to the meds. When I spoke to my counselor about the new diagnosis she denied that it could even be a possibility and told me that I have never been manic. When I told her that I had she essentially gave me the same questionnaire that my psych did. I am just feeling drained by all of this and was hoping I could get some support.
Thanks,
Alice



Alice,
Your counselor did not agree with the diagnosis of ADHD and does not agree with the diagnosis of bipolar disorder. What diagnosis is she giving you?
Eileen
She thinks I have major depression and until recently I thought that was an accurate diagnosis. But I have become more aware of my moods lately and I have noticed how quickly my they rise and fall and the medication they prescribed me for bipolar is working wonders for me. So I am beginning to doubt her diagnosis.
