Suggest ways to control mood disorders
human
I am from a small town where it is very hard to be seen by and worked together with a general physician and psychologist so I am finding extreme difficulties from physicians to help me well whatsoever. I started the process through my school psychology dept for counseling as well as took online test beforehand for mood disorders. They recommended Latuda with or without Lithium or Valporate and suggest I suffer from Bipolar 1 depression. I don t know how much longer I can go on this way I took it upon myself to self medicate for 3 months using Ablilify 20mg along with my regularly prescribed Alprotazam/ Xanax 1mg twice a day as needed and found relief finally I was able to deal with my extreme anger outburst, negative thoughts, and overall unpredictable emotional responses. I ran out of the medication and sought help at Dr. in serious need of help and have not received any. What should I do other than go to the ER where the Dr. will be the same as the office ones because the lack of practice on a mental level more physical only.
