So on Wednesday I had an appointment with my psychiatrist and he asked a bunch of the regular mental health questions, but then he said, that he noticed something odd and then proceeded to do a "bipolar test" with me, asked me about changes in my behavior, mental stability, what he called "mood swings", etc. And at the end of it all he said "Yup, you have bipolar disorder, it's just a shame that we can't do anything about it." I asked him why that was the case and he explained that apparently my symptoms are very mild and that "they" can only ship bipolar medicine for cases with extreme symptoms and because I lack suicidal thoughts (and only feel very sad and useless sometimes) and my mania is only quote "mild", it would thus be "a waste of money for them". I asked who "they" were and why that was the case. He named so random pharmacy in a nearby village and he said because Lithium is so sparce here, they'd have to import it and somehow that is very expensive and not worth it for mild cases like me. He told me to use my manic episodes to do something productive and grab a tea if I have a depressive episode.
Honestly, I am starting to question my therapists competence. Is there anything I should do next?
