What to do for bipolar disorder?
human
My daughter was diagnosed with bipolar after telling her dr. she was depressed and anxious. He put her on lamictal and she spent years feeling depressed and suicidal. When she found out she was pregnant she went off the lamictal and there has been no depression. Her psychologist after talking with her several times, thinks she was never bipolar but has ptsd instead. The lamitcal made her feel worse but her psychiatrist kept increasing the dose.

Hi dear,for bipolar disorder you should take medication and electro convulsive therapy if needed.first of all diagnosis of bipolar is necessary as depression alone without any manic features is difficult to diagnose to have bipolar illness.so consult local psychiatrist for detail history and diagnosis.PTSD is anxiety disorder and is different from bipolar.Lamictal is good drug for bipolar depression and if you are having side effects then stop it immediately and consult your treating psychiatristThank you
