I want to say firstly that I am not asking for a diagnoses I'm just seeking some info from people who might have been in a similar situation...


I was diagnosed with bipolar one early last year..it came on hard and fast. But I'm wondering how I would go about getting a second diagnoses? Can I just find another doctor and ask for a second look at my medical history? I'm worried that I am not bipolar and instead maybe schizophreffective because I have auditory hallucinations and the paranoia. And the auditory stuff just comes and goes even when I feel as though I'm properly medicated. But it isn't malevolent. So I was hoping the bipolar community could give me some insight on second diagnosis, what that would look like, and how I might go about finding a good clinician. 😊 Thanks if you read this. 📚
