Im severely bi-polar.

Well, 'bi-polar' is tossed around a lot by the psych people these days
there are many different 'levels' of the 'disorder'

regardless what you wanna call it I have a severe mood disorder thats a fact

and no drug has ever helped me deal with these crazy emotions :nonono:

I have no diagnosed mental disorders.
I'm never really depressed and I'm pretty good at controlling anxiety, when I was younger I had some anxiety that would get kind of bad, but I think all these years of smoking large amounts of sativa at once gave me practice at controlling anxiety and now I have no problems with it :shrug:

Some doc diagnosed me with ADD and told my parents I needed some pill, then my dad said "ADD is just another word for saying he's a little shit" and it was true.

Stopped being a little shit when dad smacked me hard enough, and I thank him for it.

Well actually any medical doctor can prescribe psychiatric medication it's just better to see a psychiatrist, not required. Or better still, a psychologist or therapist who typically don't have script privileges. Some locations may allow psychologists script privileges but it's not an area they focus on.

/IANAMental Health Professional... I just grew up with two of them.

As for me, I have a very minor autism spectrum disorder and a type two bipolar disorder.

Also someone said something about how almost anyone can be stretched into a mental health diagnosis - you're only half right about the motivation. It's true that a lot o doctors rely on medication too heavily but the explosion in mental health diagnoses isn't all about money, it's more the fact that we didn't previously understand mental health well enough to categorize and treat it effectively. Also most people refused to seek help because of the "crazy person" stigma attached to therapy. It's really only in the last fifty years or so that psychology has become a useful science. We're all crazy, it's just how you deal with it that matters. :grin:

I gots something they call paranoid schizophrenia, I get meds for it but I refuse to believe in their effects and it seems like it's working good, never felt a thing, I'm just hanging onto it cause society finds me insane and well, puts some weird barriers in my life which I just have to get through.

It's not us man, down with current days medical studies, they fail! Believe in yourself should be the only presciption, meh.

I took Concerta for a couple years but bailed on it because I like food too much and I was such a workaholic when I was prescribed these that I would literally choose working over lunch...

Now Cannabis cures all.  I rarely even take Ibuprofen or anything like that unless it's one of my "chronic" migraines.  No pun intended

Ive been told by my doc he cannot prescribe anything like risperidol or xanax long term because he does not specialize in mental health... therefore he would not prescribe shorterm without justification from a psych because that would be kinda pointless without correct evaluation,,
also this is just my experience im sure its not the same everywhere in the world./

Well yeah, that's the responsible thing to do on his part. Especially if he's in an area with a practicing psychiatrist or two. But it's not uncommon for GPs to feel like they're capable of overseeing a patient with a less serious diagnosis.

They won't tell you what you "have" because they dont want to label you as something.

Usually if someone thinks they "have" something, they will act like they do have it. And then it usually doesnt get better, and sometimes even gets worse.

There are a couple reasons off the top of my head why they might be reluctant to weigh in on that. They might just not feel comfortable making a categorical diagnosis yet, while the DSM is fairly mutable it does have at least one or two rigid requirements for making each diagnosis. They could just want to try to understand what you're thinking better before deciding if a diagnosis is appropriate.

They might also be worried that having a diagnosis could effect your way of thinking. "That's okay, I'm not supposed to be able to do that, I'm sick." isn't generally a healthy point of view. And even when you try not to it's tempting to blame things on a diagnosis and disassociate the action from yourself. (Edit: err, yeah, what Mr Kite said :wink: )

I do have anxiety... that is real, I just needed a confirmation for a script,
she did in fact say she believes I have bipolar fairly quick, but I had to ask and it wasnt set in stone... (which is understandable due to the reason you said)... but what the hell other reason was I there for besides to get a diagnosis?

It may be true but no seroquel (which she prescribe under the diagnosis bipolar depression) or any antipsychotic shit like that is going to fix that like weed or a benzo could calm down the nerves and thats from experience in taking those damn hell pills...
I was pretty much just a rat in an experiment to her.
she would quickly write out a script for any of a list of antipsychs I chose I wanted to take:lol: but not a bonzo.
and those messed me up more than any Kpin did.

They are for sure diagnosing you, but they might not say what you have. She gave you medicine right? So she has made a diagnosis.
