Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I Hv been depressed with some 43 years now, as well as schitophrenia since 1981. I get high and low moods, and am wondering if this bi-polar 2, or psychotic depression I have? I am 64 years old, and female.
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You know yourself better than anybody else, this includes your doctor. I think you are being treated by psychiatrist for the last 43 years. You must know about bi-polar disorder to diagnose it. You don't have enough knowledge. So leave the job to your psychiatrist or psychologist. Just present yourself in front of them and relax. They know how to do the job well and they will do it.
Worrying increases your anxiety and mood swings. Learn to relax. Relaxation is possible when you be free of thoughts. such a state is possible when you understand life and its value.
I can help you as a psychotherapist if you post a premium question with all details about your illnesses and life style and family etc.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
