my husband. died 1997 he was worried I would harm myself, 3 months after I started therapy.  Immediately was told I was bipolar.  Taking meds moved to different state new shrink. meds increased.  2007 tried to kill myself I was found, not happy about that but no longer suuicidal..Moved to home town new shrink different meds.  I. through myself am only taking the Lithiun.  My mind is almost cleared.  I had lost almost all since 1997.  Ihave seen my shrink once since I went to just lithium.   He told me 2 nd visit how well I was doing.  Last time. he said maybe I had only been. little bipolar.I cant tell all, a therapist has backed me up.  What do you think of this being bipolar and not grief?
Hello can understand your problem, and I am really sorry about your loss. Usually See normal grief reaction doesn't extend beyond 6 months. If grief reaction extend beyond six months it needs evaluation and proper diagnosis is made as per clinical features. You have suicidal tendencies and multiple self harm attempts were made, so this is not a normal grief. I would advise you to take the medicines as prescribed for proper treatment for your betterment. Lithium is a safe Chat Doctor.  Please consult your psychiatrist for proper evaluation and don't this that this is a normal grief. Thanks
