Signs of bipolar
Hi Just looking for an opinion, not a diagnosis.

Depression and the voice
I have a question. Does depression always show in the voice? Like do you have to have obvious signs with the way you sound to be depressed? I was wondering as doctors usually put things like ‘sounds okay’ etc. but yet how do you know what’s going on with someone’s condition? It just got me thinking.

GPs and Mental Health Issues
Hello, Has anyone else noticed that GPs are generally not as supportive with mental health issues as they are physical ones? I’m finding a lot of the time they judge you on how you sound but because you’re passed from GP to GP you don’t build the kind of relationship you would have done in the past in pandemic times. I…

Anyone here with schizophrenia?
I am aware of a diagnosis called schizoaffective, and the docs go between telling me I have that and / or a mood disorder. I am uncertain what I really have and there is no clarity on what I’m being told. If you have schizophrenia, are your symptoms chronic even with meds? I seem to be fine with meds, and my moods cause me…

He also wrote good eye contact despite the consultation being on Zoom. I wasn’t even directly looking at him, I was looking at my iPad and at looking…

How can doctors truly know how you’re affected when you’ve probably spent 7 days in the…
