he did go see a counselor, or psychiatrist...he just said he was depressed and put him on the lexapro..but isn't there some kind of test they give for bipolar? my husband's anger problem, he has stated himself, is not controllable, he says his mind just goes blank and his body physically gets hot inside and his hands start to sweat, and i'm talking about getting that mad about stupid stuff, like the gut in front of him is driving too slow. i don't mind the expense of help or meds, that's all i ever wanted to do, but now look where it has gotten me, psyche meds make him feel so euphoric that he feels too good for his family now. how does someone change their mind so quickly about what is important to them in life? i just feel like i wasted 10 years of my life, to just be tossed out. he tells me i have a mental problem, wierd thing is i seem to get along with others just fine, at work etc. i have started taking paxil though, because i just was so torn up about this i was unable to function. i think i literally had a nervous breakdown. it's not like i had any warning!! but now i don't want to get stuck on psyche meds, i have never taken any medicine in my life, but i must say, it is helping me to feel better about things, it was getting hard to even get out of bed! how could one find out if they were bipolar? wouldn't the dr he went to have told him that?
