Hi doctor I have a diagnosis of Anxiety , depression and Bipolar type 2. I am currently on medication for these the problem is I don t think in bipolar, I think I m suffering from borderline personality disorder because my emotions flip flop often through out the day. I don t think my doctor believes me and she says the meds I am on will take care of that too. I m on Prozac forty milligram, Remeron fifteen milligram, and Trileptol three hundred milligram a day. I very frustrated cuz I feel like if I had the right diagnosis then maybe my counselor could help with learning coping skills. Thnx
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. Anti-depressants and mood stabilizers also have a role in borderline personality disorder. Moreover, a bipolar 2 does not present with typical manic episodes. You may have multiple episodes of depression with a few hypomania episodes only. However, irrespective of the diagnostic label, learning coping skills, stress management techniques and learning to handle your emotional fluctuations will definitely help you. So, if you have access to a psychologist or counselor, please seek help. Wish you all the best. -
