In response to a couple of posts-
He was diagnosed bipolar a year or so ago, but that diagnosis has been changed to dysthymia with episodes of major depression.
Apparently his doc gets annoyed if he goes out and brings back suggestions :( which is pretty awful- but because he's in the public health system of Australia, it's really difficult to be able to change your psychiatrist.
One of the troubles with charting etc. is that his head is so fuzzy- he doesn't remember to eat half the time so I'm not sure how he can remember to chart reactions. I'll try to see if he can do that, though.
Thanks for all the help to everyone who posted :)
