Hi,<\/p>\n

How’s it going for you today?<\/p>\n

I hope you are doing well.<\/p>\n

I am going to a strongman competition with my friend. <\/p>\n

He is competing today so I have to get going.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I heard someone talk at one of the support groups I volunteer at the other night, and
\nI just have to share it with you, because, well, actually, it’s not to share it with you, it’s to WARN you \u2013<\/p>\n

When you’re dealing with bipolar disorder, PLEASE, please\u2026<\/p>\n

DON’T DO THIS!<\/p>\n

This woman could have caused a LOT of harm by what she did.<\/p>\n

I mean, I’m sure she didn’t mean to hurt anyone by it, but still, she could have (and maybe she
\ndid, I don’t know, because I didn’t stick around, and anyway, it’s kind of a personal thing to each
\nperson there, and I don’t know what they do in their personal lives).<\/p>\n

But anyway, back to my story about what happened at the support group.<\/p>\n

This woman did something that was really dangerous, and I don’t want you to do the same thing at your own support group, or even just talking to anyone else about this.<\/p>\n

Sorry, I’ll stop preaching, and just tell you what happened.<\/p>\n

We had a doctor as a guest speaker.<\/p>\n

Great, you know?<\/p>\n

I love it when we have doctors talking on bipolar disorder, because I love to pick their
\nbrains about the disorder! : )<\/p>\n

Then I bring back what I learn and share it with you (if I learn anything new).<\/p>\n

All right, so this woman asks the doctor if she’s on the right bipolar medication.<\/p>\n

So, of course, the doctor doesn’t know, because he doesn’t know what medication
\nshe’s on, and they usually won’t discuss medication, because everyone’s different.<\/p>\n

So she starts trying to tell him what medication she’s on, and the doctor tries to cut her off, and
\nmove onto the next question.<\/p>\n

Scroll down to see what happens next!<\/p>\n

She starts yelling at the doctor, “What kind of doctor are you if you don’t know about
\nmedications?”<\/p>\n

And the doctor started to turn red! I swear! This lady was so rude!<\/p>\n

So, right in front of everyone, she starts naming her medications! <\/p>\n

And she asks the doctor, “Are these the best medications for bipolar disorder?”<\/p>\n

Let me tell you what the doctor said: (Scroll down for the answer)<\/p>\n

He said (as politely as he could, because everyone was looking by then): “Ma’am,
\nI can’t tell you if these are the best bipolar medications. You have to ask your own doctor.”<\/p>\n

See, even doctors won’t tell you what the best bipolar medications are!
\nBecause there are so many of them!<\/p>\n

And you’ll notice, in all my daily emails, I never mention names of medications,
\nbecause I’m not a doctor, and I don’t want anyone to think that I’m endorsing any
\nparticular bipolar medication, because I’m not. (and because, believe it or not,
\nI’ve had several people accuse me of working for a drug company, pushing
\nmedications! Which, of course I DON”T!)<\/p>\n

Even in my courses\/systems, I talk about types of bipolar medications, but not names,
\nbecause that’s not what’s important, and everybody’s different. Besides, they’re always
\ncoming out with new medications, and doing new drug trials every day. The medication name
\nis not as important as what the medication does.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to what happened.<\/p>\n

After the meeting, this is what she did that was so dangerous, and that I hope you
\nNEVER do:<\/p>\n

This woman gathered everyone around her, and told them the names of the medications
\nshe was on. Oh, not just that, though. She told them how great they were, and that THEY
\nshould be on them, too!<\/p>\n

That could be so harmful, because just because one medication works great for someone else
\ndoesn’t mean it’s going to work that great for you or your loved one! Your own doctor has to make that decision. And this woman definitely was NOT a doctor!<\/p>\n

So I just wanted to warn you.<\/p>\n

Always check with your doctor with ANY questions about medication.<\/p>\n

Hey \u2013 have YOU ever run into a woman like the one I described?<\/p>\n

What do you think about what happened?<\/p>\n
