=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <=\n\n
Hi,<\/p>\n
How’s it going?<\/p>\n
I hope you are doing well today.<\/p>\n
First I want to say that for any
one who has my bipolar supporter
master course, there will be an
update to it or an “add on.”<\/p>\n
It will be sent to your email.
It’s important that you listen
to this information.<\/p>\n
I just learned it the REALLY, REALLY
hard way.<\/p>\n
I don’t want you to have it happen
to you.<\/p>\n
It’s far to complicated to write in
a daily email. I am currently
working on explaining what happen
and of course a counter or solution
to the problem.<\/p>\n
I must say, this particular bipolar
problem really left me, for the
first time, unsure if there was a solution.<\/p>\n
Then it hit me late last night. So I am
working on putting it all together.<\/p>\n
NOTE-For anyone who gets my bipolar
supporter master course, this new information
will be coming with the course so
don’t worry. I have a system to
get this done.<\/p>\n
Well that leads into today’s topic
of the shocking truth about doctors
and therapists.<\/p>\n
What’s the shocking truth? Well it’s
that doctors or therapist can make
mistakes and can give bad advice.<\/p>\n
Veterans in bipolar disorder might
say, “Dave, that’s not shocking to
me, I already knew that.” <\/p>\n
Unfortunately, there are tens of thousands
of NON veterans on my lists. <\/p>\n
I could have called this email,
the shocking truth about “professionals”
because the information will not only
cover doctors and therapists related
to bipolar disorder but all professionals.<\/p>\n
Over the years, I have discovered that
many professionals can give bad advice
and recommendations.<\/p>\n
Take a look at this:<\/p>\n
-Look at the mortgage industry, that’s
the result of professionals giving
bad advice.<\/p>\n
-Many argue that the war in Iraq is
the result of bad professional advice<\/p>\n
-The collapse of the huge company
Enron was the result of professional
bad advice<\/p>\n
-These days, banks are writing off BILLIONS
of dollars in losses from bad professional
advice.<\/p>\n
Now this is all not related to bipolar disorder,
but everyday, I get emails, letters and phone calls
from people who tell me about how they were told
things like:<\/p>\n
-Trusted therapist says a person doesn’t have bipolar
disorder for years<\/p>\n
Reality=person has bipolar disorder, goes undiagnosed
for many years suffering. NOTE-therapists don’t
diagnose people, doctors do.<\/p>\n
-Therapist says a person doesn’t have to have medication
changed.<\/p>\n
Reality=therapists don’t make this determination, doctors do.
Person goes into mini episode than super episodes, husband leaves
her.<\/p>\n
NOTE-Some therapists try to function as a doctor when
they aren’t one and aren’t trained to make certain
determinations and decisions.<\/p>\n
-Doctor says a person doesn’t have to fill out certain
forms for disability<\/p>\n
Reality=Doctor knows little to nothing about disability,
person listens, denied disability.<\/p>\n
-Therapist says family is too hard on loved one, advises
family to back off and tells person she needs more
space<\/p>\n
Reality=Family is disgusted. Leaves individual alone.
Person has bipolar, goes into an episode, there are
no supporters, person attempts suicide and almost kills
herself<\/p>\n
-Doctor tells person with bipolar disorder to have
abortion because she is young and has bipolar
disorder and doesn’t have a husband. Doctor says
pregnancy will cause her to go into a super
episode.<\/p>\n
Reality=person reads up on how to manage bipolar
disorder during a pregnancy, has baby, does
not go into super episode and is fine with a system.<\/p>\n
-Therapist tells person with bipolar disorder
to stop working.<\/p>\n
Reality=Doctor didn’t know therapist said this.
Doctor told person in past that working in a non
stressful job is critical to her well being.
Person stops working. Has no money.
Gets depressed. Loses job. Goes into
bipolar episode. <\/p>\n
-Family doctor says a person doesn’t have
bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n
Reality=Family doctor knows little to nothing
about bipolar disorder (psychiatrists do). Person
really has it. Person goes into huge episode destroying
her family and causing them all to leave.<\/p>\n
THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE STORIES. <\/p>\n
How do you prevent this from happening to
you?<\/p>\n
Well there is no easy answer but here
are some pointers:<\/p>\n
-Take the time to find a good doctor
and therapist<\/p>\n
In my main courses\/systems below:<\/p>\n
SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER? HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER? I have a TON and I mean a ton of -Have at least one backup doctor and therapist<\/p>\n -Don’t ask a doctor or therapist a question NOTE-I am NOT a doctor, lawyer, insurance -Become informed yourself. Whether you are a -Think about how your decision will affect -Try to find someone else who has been -Get a second opinion from someone So I want you to be careful.

information on how to find a good doctor
and therapist. I have an entire system. It
sorts through hundreds of them and has
the good ones contact you. It’s a f.ree
gift with my courses\/systems.<\/p>\n
outside their area of expertise. For example,
if you don’t doesn’t know about how to get on
disability, don’t ask him\/her. If your doctor
doesn’t have a law degree, don’t ask him
her a legal question.<\/p>\n
person or other kind of professional and I am
NEVER offering any medical or legal advice.<\/p>\n
bipolar supporter or a bipolar survivor, educate
yourself. Talk to people. Ask the hard questions.
Challenge people. Get as much credible information
as you can and read, watch or listen to it.<\/p>\n
things long term. Think about how it
all will connect together.<\/p>\n
through the problem how he\/she dealt with
it.<\/p>\n
as qualified or more qualified.<\/p>\n
listen to the professionals but you also
have to be careful as well. <\/p>\n
