6 months...write list of priorities...suppose getting meds right would be up there. Yeah, I tell 'em things of significance particularly pertaining to mood, of course.

I don't see a pdoc, just regular doc every 6 months.
I don't have questions about meds or mental health issues. I think I'm good on that. I'll ask my doc to look at that mole on my back and hope my blood work for
cholesterol and sugar comes in ok. We need to work to our priorities so when it comes to questions do what's good for you!

See I always blank when I go into see my pdoc. This time has been so long that I don't know what I'll talk to her about. I have a mood diary to take with me but other than that I'm at a stand still

mood diary sounds good, should give you stuff to talk about. i usually tell pdoc most things but i see him v regularly. also discussing meds after six months is prob a good idea.

Thank you to everyone who replied, I am now sat here with a pen and paper trying to remember what I want to talk about..

6 months is a long time thankfully my cpn will be sitting in the meeting too to discuss how he's seen me over the past few weeks

My pdoc is just for med monitoring. He wants to know "how I feel". He doesnt want to know what is going on in my life. That is what my therapist is for. He is focused on my stability no matter what else is going on in my life.

So, it depends on whether your pdoc is also your therapist. If so, I would write down key events that may have triggered you and that you want to work through. If not, your mood journal should be sufficient. How did you go so long without seeing him? Did you still have meds? I hope you are doing okay?

hey guys.. i was the same for me .. emory problems i think theyre just trying to work with us and understand. work together with them cuz theyre realy smart and undersstand your condition a lot more now ! you just have to exaplin you feel exacly. ps.s i have 10 books 1 for dreams, one for jfeelings , one for whati do in the day , one for what medds im taking. i just have to log everythig down >? then i feel somewhat better. organization is key too with ur meds and talking to your psychiatrist alot

I've never really thought what my pdoc is for, resources are so limited here that I haven't even been able to get an appointment. I assume she's a type of therapist too, maybe I'll ask her for tomorrow.

rachael - I couldn't cope with 10 books, how do you manage?

Staple the list to their head.Facing outwards or inwards..depending on yr moods.
