My psychiatrist, in 2009, trialed a medication on me (I was diagnosed with bipolar 1), and it magnified my manic episodes, in which case I stopped taking it.He then trialed anti depressants - the first few made me sleep in until 1pm every day and others basically just slowed down my emotional response, which was the one which I still take because I'm used to it.fter 3 months of seeing him, he let me loose and didn't book any more appointments. From 2009 to 2013 I was married, divorced, became homeless, lived in 3 different cities over a year's period, broke my right hand during an episode in which I punched a concrete floor for no reason, and attacked my ex wife physically on several occasions.I got back in contact with my psychiatrist after grueling efforts, and he has been, for the past year, absolutely indifferent and neglectful to me. Every month or second month I see him, he can't remember what we discussed the month before. He refuses to discuss a disability pension with me, and he keeps coming up with mental health plans for me which he disposes of the next month and so on.I AM AT THE END OF MY WITS HERE AND I FEEL LIKE THE WHOLE WORLD IS PLAYING A BIG ELABORATE GAME WITH ME. Help.
