Answers:
Well hmmm if you count that I knew something was wrong with me as a kid (9) then 30 years!. If you count when the doc's started messing with my brain and gave me every diagnosis (Borderline Personality Disorder, Manic Depressive, BiPolar 2) then 9 years!. My doc who I am seeing right now (2 months) just nailed it in one session (ADHD & Bipolar1)!. I feel 100% now!. Right meds and GREAT therapist!. I looked at him one day and said the only reason I am trusting you is because you wear a bowtie :) He is an older gentleman that reminds me of the old time doctors!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

For the 2nd year, my parents found out, yet didnt know how to help
