I saw that. How can a therapist diagnosis bi-polar? And what can you possibly get out of going to therapy once every other month?
The role of a therapist during the first session with anyone is to diagnose. Insurance doesn't cover therapy for patients just because they feel like seeing someone. Therapists have to give a diagnosis...an evaluation is done on five axis.....
Also, if bliss was diagnosed as bipolar, her diagnosis could also be later updated....there is more than one type of bipolar disorder, and it's quite possible that Bliss showed signs of one or the other during her initial evaluation.
For what it's worth....narcissism is a personality disorder, and anyone with a personality disorder doesn't go to therapy because they think they have a problem...normally someone with a personality disorder believes everyone else is the problem.
Just food for thought.
Re: doglove
When I saw my counselor, she told me that she believed I had bipolar disorder and had me go see a psychiatrist who officially diagnosed with a mild version of bipolar disorder (can't remember the official wording...). I was put on medication, and then taken off a few months later as I became pregnant (thank you bipolar medication for screwing with my BC pill....).
Something happened in my pregnancy that stabilized everything. I have not returned to medication nor do my doctors see a reason for me to go on it with how well I am doing, especially with the stresses of a divorce.
I will continue to see my counselor as needed and for check ups so that we can make sure I am still doing well.
I just wanted to put my own experience out there as food for thought.
