To answer all of your questions, she IS seeing a psychologist, and has taken an MMPI test. Therefore; she is seeking therapy, and it has helped so far. It took us two years to find the correct doctor so that we could get the correct diagnosis to begin with.
She tried going off the Topomax, and that resulted in meltdown that took months to get back to where she is right now. It also brought back the binge eating disorder somewhat.
She does not have the manic type symptoms that are typical of Bipolar I, because she's not BPI. Not reckless, or over confident etc. She threw her psychiatrist off quite a bit with that, that's why it took so long to diagnose. She has just a bit of BDP, (Tiny).
She also has had her thyroid tested TWO times, (not cheap) and now we know it's not hormonal.
It may seem as if she isn't getting proper medical attention or therapy, but being the aggressive mother that I am, she is.-L
