Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
If you read this board Ronald I was your 1:00 PM appointment on October 3rd of this year. You bag of deush (sp).
Ronald was the guy who wrote "Mood Swing" in the 70's and "Bipolar II" just recently, I'm sure many of you have read his stuff. He's the self proclaimed revolutionary in the use of litium and Pioneer of the BPII diagnosis. Well living so close to NY I decided to make an appointment with him after being diagnosed with BPII in early august. I will give you a time line of events. Walked into a piece of shit office blaring with a video of ronald talking about his new great cure-all book. Basically the book consists of him diagnosing Donald Trump and Abe Lincoln as bipolar and then going on to say how lucky we all are, and making it aware that most of his clients are the movers and shakers in manhattan (it was an informative book, but Wikipedia does this job.) As i sat there until 2:30 (appointment supposed to be at 1:00), absolutely starving because they made it clear that i had to get there early and traffic was awful, I began to notice that his secretary, who was very nice mind you, would just keep walking into his office without knocking barging in on his client, I thought this was strange but thought maybe the office was really really big. After finally being called in, he began the session by talking about the last client who had just walked out, explaing in detail that he just bought 3 cars and was def. BPI. Thanks for the info doc, i'm sure he appreciates you letting me know. The next 15 mins consisted of me wishing i had a parka because the AC was blasting, the room was prob. 50 degrees, His secretary barging in three times, the office was 10x10', and him trying to sell me the book that i already bought and read. I told him 3 times i read his book each time he replied by saying you should really get my book on your way out. Instead of a name plate on his desk there was a ad for his book. In conclusion i paid $800 for a sales pitch, some info on the past client, and a free copy of his first book "Mood Swing." When people in my family asked me how it went I told them i felt like i was being sold a jacuzzi at a home remodeling convention in Secaucus, NJ. All you BPI's out there, if you're feeling an episode come on don't go to the mercedes dealership go blow $800 on an appointment, it's worth the laugh.
If you are reading Ronald, great suit you had on, I always did love kurt russell's sense of style in "Used Cars."

What a nightmare. sorry to hear that. I had a similar episode. it cost me 300 for the appointment 200 for the meds and 25,000 for my hosp stay after a suicide attempt. My boy wonder never returned a phone call. no time to supervise new patients. What an ass.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
