HOW
ON
EARTH
IS
ONE
DIAGNOSED
BI
POLAR
WHEN,
ATLEAST
IN
MY
CASE,
THEY
NEVER
DID
ANY
TESTING
FOR
LACK
OF
CHEMICALS
IN
THE
BRAIN.....THE
FOLLOWING
IS
A
COMMENT
I
LEFT
ON
A
BI
POLAR
BLOG/QUESTION....IF
ANYONE
CAN
GIVE
ME
AN
ANSWER
HERE,
MAYBE
HANCEY....I
SURE
WOULD
LIKE
TO
READ
IT!!!!!
Trust
me...you're
in
the
right
place....lol....I
suffer
from
a
mood
disorder
which
was
initially
mis
diagnosed
years
ago
as
bi
polar.
It
amuses
me
how
one
can
be
diagnosed
as
bi
polar
without
having
any
lab
work
done
to
show
the
possession
or
lack
of
chemical
balance/in
balance.
Shouldn't
there
be
a
brain
check
or
something?
Look
at
the
drug
Lithium...this
drug
replaces
a
lack
of
"salt"
chemical
in
the
brain.
How
the
hell
do
they
know
it's
lacking
without
the
proper
tests.
You
may
want
to
seek
a
second
opinion.
I
say
that
only
because
of
my
experience
with
the
psychiatric
community
and
my
initial
misdiagnosis.
