Suggest Treatment For Bipolar Disorder

I have ultra rapid cycling mixed state bipolar II. I m 62, my house is paid for and I retired at age 58. I seem to have everything going for me in terms of not having any financial problems or health issues, and I have more than enough money saved for retirement. However, I m in a constant state of apathy. It s worse than depression ... I just don t care anymore. I m not suicidal. My current shrink has been treating me for Bipolar I for 6 years. I m really beside myself that she doesn t even know the type of bipolar I have, despite the fact that my former shrink sent her all my records.
