Do I have a chance?

What were your methods? Any Advice?

Even though I’ve been in hell all my life I know there is light here and at the end of the tunnel. I know all things can change and become better from the inside in a natural way. I feel that to get a prescription from a psychiatrist is no different than hitting yourself in the head with a hammer. I won’t know ’till I try, but I don’t want to risk it. It’s too scary and dangerous. If anyone out there knows of any natural way of going about something this terrible, please help me! Thank you!

I think I’ve heard of a blood test to determine if you have bipolar disorder. From what kind of doctor does one get this test (if it exists). What are they really looking for? Can they tell if my children have it even if they have not developed symptoms yet?

If you were over weight but have bipolar have you ever had a dr. give you a weight loss medication in combination with your bipolar meds? Does it work? Would it be bad side effects?

I just quit taking Geodon last week. I had horrible side effects, such as dizziness, shaking, & headaches. I quit it cold turkey, which was bad, but now it’s out of my system. I’ve also taken Prozac, Zoloft, & Lexapro. I’m starting to think medication will never work for me. Do you know of any good bipolar medication? Thanks.

My family and I just found out that one of our relatives has bipolar and was wanting to find this person a good support group that they could attend.
A relative of mine needs help and assistance. Please no stupid or smart aleck remarks!
