oh din realise than u aren't on medication.
i assumed u were on mood-stabilizing meds.
i heard if you have a prescription u shouldn't stop taking eventhough u think that u feel fine and dont need it anyore.

besides medication, therapy and self-help strategies also play important roles. You can help control your symptoms by exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, eating right, monitoring your moods, keeping stress to a minimum, and surrounding yourself with supportive people. avoid drugs if possible

he's right.
TS, should try to avoid drugs, and if u think u can't avoid it, try do research about the drugs the hospital will give u..
i believe they have adverse effects if taken for a long period.

Please consult a GP/physician, or psychiatrist. The diagnosis can only be done by a trained psychiatrist. Bipolar disorder is characterised by periods of depression and mania. Medication and compliance is paramount to bipolar control.

And I have never, ever, heard of a no-drug bipolar control strategy. What are you guys advising here? If a manic bipolar goes off, the patient can literally die from exhaustion! It's a serious condition!

To TS: If the previous diagnosis of social anxiety disorder was done by a psychiatrist, it is likely that your diagnosis will remain in personality disorder categories, unless the symptomatology that you will report to the psychiatrist is markedly different. Don't be afraid to pour everything out to your psychiatrist, it helps the psychiatrist gain rapport and understanding with you.

good luck with your therapy

This.The meds are important.

I would say it's better to go on meds, even after considering the side effects.

Better just go to your psychiatrist to see what's wrong. Good luck.

You mean a referral letter from a GP/clinic doctor is it? A prescription is for medication.
