Diagnosis Flip-Flop with Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar or not bipolar? That is the question. Why do doctors change their minds about a diagnosis, and does altering a diagnosis mean they aren’t good at their profession? Does a change mean you are getting substandard care, and do you ever wonder why your diagnosis isn’t consistent from medical professional to medical professional, or even from facility to facility? Listen in to answer these questions and more. To learn more -- or read the transcript -- please visit the show's official episode page here. Inside Bipolar Hosts Gabe Howard is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations, available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. He also hosts Healthline Media's Inside Mental Health podcast available on your favorite podcast player. To learn more about Gabe, please visit his website, gabehoward.com.
