Hey everyone! I am meeting with a psychiatrist soon and I’m wondering what to expect?
I saw my GP (he specializes in mental health, if that’s a thing?) Psychiatrist near me a year ago and after years of different medications for different “diagnoses” from other doctors, he suggested I most likely have bipolar 2. I’ve been on a small dosage of lamictal since then and I’ve seen wild improvements in my mood stability.
I have examples of hypomania (and delusions/hallucinations type things, I’m never sure if it’s real or not) and depression that I have ready to share with them, but other than that, I’d like to go in somewhat prepared since this is my first time seeing someone in a dedicated mental health field. Any advice for a terrified me?
