After my life-long struggle with my mental health and dozens of misdiagnoses from countless doctors over the years who diagnosed me as major depression and anxiety, prescribing me SSRI antidepressants that never worked and made my condition worse, I decided to go to a legit psychiatrist back in 2017 and got properly diagnosed and the correct meds that I needed all these years. The doctor I went to is the best psychiatrist in Dallas whose been practicing for over 40 years and is damn good at what they do.
I have a legit diagnosis of Bipolar Type 1 – mixed state; which means that I cycle between the deepest depressions to full blown manic episodes, and always having both depressive and manic symptoms present at the same time always is what the “mixed state” means
