A doctor diagnosed me with Bipolar. Then tried telling me I needed drugs in order to leave. This was after getting Meningitis. Supposed to make sure I was okay to leave the hospital. But they of course were trying to put me on drugs.
Can't imagine why I had an upset reaction when they wanted me to take something that could give me a seizure!
Another thing is that while most doctors physically look at the body during examination, most in this field never look!

A full body physical examination and blood tests are supposed to be the first thing a psychiatrist performs. Thanks for sharing your story. The internet is unfortunately full of stories with people given this diagnosis. And I seriously doubt any of them has a life altering illness which requires medication.
Yes. They should really look at the brain itself. As various shapes tells them more than any guesses they make!
