I've had two therapists (one a p-doc) and they've both been great. My p-doc is not that big on diagnosis. These drugs are not that well targeted that it matters whether you're bipolar 1, bipolar 2, atypical depression, MDD. It's all the same trials of drug combos anyway. He once said that I'm probably bipolar 3-b or whatever.

> When I left my psychiatrists office that I was seeing years ago, I would walk across the room to see a therapist who would start in, why do you need to take that sh*t man(his words). The psychiatrist was awful and awfully stupid. The therapist? Never went back.
