psychologist said that I was suffering from extreme Bipolar I disorder
.
Psychologist said even now I might been in a full mania state. And advised psychotherapy.
He prescribed me pills to calm me down. Anticonvulsants, such as sodium valproate but I dont need that.
ANd If I was cool with that he wanted to talk with my parents about my current medical condition but I refused.
SO I asked for the copie of my diagnose and I it seems that I have mania with psychotic features including suspiciousness, delusion of grandeur, aggression. lack of empathy, self-centeredness. And my dominant part is delusions of grandeur.


BUt would this medical file affect my job life later?I will keep that file in secret.

Blister: If you start spending all your money or don't sleep for 3 days, or if the aggression is bad enough you need to do something. Otherwise you may be able to ride it out. Try to not let them put you on the heavy stuff...the ones that knock you out cold for 12 hours.

As far as the job Idk. I would think if you never mention it they would not ask for most jobs, but not sure about where privacy laws and info are going.

I dont need medication.
I love myself.
Its hard to control myself.
I become a full mania if I am angry.
