How Can Bipolar Disorder Be Treated?

I am 85yrs. Was diagnosed as BIPOLAR at the VA when I was in my early 30s. No physical given at any time. Have endured this stigma to this day. After receiving information?? about the cchr.org Citizens Commission on Human Rights I realized that psychiatry may be nothing but a fraud and scam. I complained frequently that some of the meds I took were actually increasing my negative emotions, to no avail. The meds. were either increased or changed. Until this day after an M.D. lowered me to no psych. meds. and put me on some OTC for muscle and joint discomfort and relaxers, did I realize so much relief and less stress for my age.
