My advice is to be very circumspect about the BP diagnosis. I was "diagnosed" BP on the basis of the results of a short questionnaire and ended up down the rabbit hole for the past 14 years. I've been trying to get off of the horrible antipsych meds for years. Zyprexa pretty much ruined my health, both mental and physical, causing massive weight gain, my blood sugar skyrocketed from low-normal to pre-diabetes range, paranoia, intellectual inhibition, loss of coordination, heart problems, sexual dysfunction, zombieism... very bad side effects. After a very tough, year-long withdrawl, I'm cautiously optimistic that I'm done with it. Lamotrigine is next. I don't think very many people really know what bipolar means. I don't. I had the occasional manic episode and depression events over my last 30 years, but wasnt raving and yelling, "Im the king of the world!"
Who knows?
I'm 66 yo now and wanting to try a go at treating my brain holistically.

Best of luck to you.

Stay wary of the mental health industry.
