Hi linkadge,
>It was a very good article. It was accuate on so many levels.
Yeah, although my previous post picks up some of the report, I do agree. I've just re-read it a couple of times over as my first impression was slightly different - you're right the article is pretty accurate I guess...I just think that the report could have covered more sides, for example in my case the fact that had I had not used the internet for research the 'consultant psychiatrist I see doesn't even know about some of the medications commonly used for bipolar disorder...had I not suggested them, I wouldn't of gained relief and would have been stuck on the drugs he gave me which were making me worse...
The last times I walked into see my psychiatrist - his comment was "I think you're doing very well" The medication i'm taking he prescribed ~ I suggested.
Previous to this in the years, it has been, how are you doing? "Not very good at all...." He prescribed ~ he suggested.
The pharmacists dispense the drugs - but can't do so without the doctors say so. When your doctor is giving you drugs that are making you worse in the UK under the NHS, unless your privite, you have to do what you can to make sure you get drugs that make you better lol but then this would be an article for the UK I guess..
