I was diagnosed bipolar decades ago, medicated nearly to death, electroshocked, and generally dismissed when tried to ask why most of my sister’s had nothing to do with being “bipolar”. Turns out I’m NOT, I’m autistic and have DDNOS from decades of abuse and trauma. Psychiatrists simply refuse to examine why people are the way they are. If they’d ask us, we’d tell them, but of course, they’d have to actually listen.
