Today i met with my psychiatrist for the second time. The last psychiatrist i went to pre-diagnosed me with bipolar disorder. But the one i am with now thinks it is just depression. I mean, she is not wrong because yeah i do get depressed every few weeks or months and it’s in a cycle, but she just thinks i’m full time depressed with “2 or three good days” which isn’t that case. Now she wants to put me on anti-depressants for my depression and i really don’t want to because i don’t even have depression full time. I don’t want to make a life long commitment to a drug that could possibly ruin me, especially knowing it isn’t the mental illness i have. She screened me today and as we all know, the screening test has numbers 0-4. When she screened me, i didn’t take the test myself, she asked me the questions and picked the numbers herself and then added up my score, which said i had moderate depression to none, which was weird because a few weeks ago when i took it with my doctor, the numbers were totally different, because i actually got to take the test myself. I don’t want to like question her skills or anything or seem like i am trying to self diagnose, but idk how to tell her she’s diagnosing me wrong. and hypothetically, if i did have bipolar disorder, my “hypomanic” or “manic” episodes are worst than my depressive episodes, it’s actually kind of scary. I’m not sure what to do.
