Bipolar disorder is NOT the end of it all...
When I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, I felt like my world had fallen apart.
I knew that what I was experiencing wasn't normal, but I had no idea where to go or what to do next. I ended up doing some research on the internet and found BipolarLab.
They were incredibly helpful in explaining the diagnosis and treatment options, as well as answering all of my questions about how bipolar disorder affects people's lives.
Dr Malliaris listened carefully to everything that I had to say about my symptoms and lifestyle, and then came up with a personalized treatment plan for me based on all of these things.
Dr Malliaris and his team have been incredibly supportive throughout this entire process—he always makes time for me if something comes up during our sessions, he's always willing to answer any questions that might come up after our sessions end, and he never makes me feel like something is wrong with me because of my mental health issues (even though it's hard sometimes).
He treats me like an individual—someone who needs help getting better at managing their own health—and not just someone who needs pills.
