JH, this is wonderful news. Bipolar disorder can be crippling to people, and it's so good to hear from a person who believed that things could be better.

I wonder if you could write a little bit about the time you spent changing psychiatrists and trying medicines. For instance, how long were you with each doctor? How long would you try a medicine or a combination of medicines until you asked for something else?

What sort of things did you start to notice once you clicked into the right combination of meds and doctors?

I'm hoping you can give our bipolar readers a bit of a roadmap. If they aren't naturally assertive, they may find it difficult to push, push, push for better care for themselves. Perhaps some tips from you will be inspiration to them.

Thanks for writing. So good to hear how well you and your mother are doing!
