It's bad enough when we mess up our own lives but when someone else does it for us it really sucks. Especially when it comes to prescription writing. If I am not extremely vigilant at pdoc's office, when I get home and look at the scripts I usually find that there's something that needs to be changed.
This must be a function of the American system of ten minutes to a client so that more and more people can be seen per day--the sheer number of prescriptions written has to numb the brain of the person writing them. My psychophamachologist is unique to me, so I assume I am to her, forgetting that I'm just one out of thirty or more people she'll see during an ordinary work day.This is a question to help me make up my mind: how many of you who have a bipolar diagnosis and are on medication are also having talk therapy? Do you think it helps? I've been seeing a therapist since September and I'm not sure it's doing any good.
I feel like I'm losing hope with medication and therapy. Bummer.
