I want to effectively kill myself. Thoughts like this have surfaced throughout the years. but it did again today after a fight with my father. I punched him. Ive seen a doctor in my country (i am currently on vacation in the US now). she said i may have bi polar 2. and prescribes me anti convulsion meds. but tells me to see another doctor to further have myself tested. and it will cost me 3 months worth of my salary just for the test alone. I dont know what to do. it seems easier to just find a way out of life
HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor If you have bipolar depression, in that case, you need mood stabilizer like valproate or lithium with antidepressant. That would help to control mood swings as well as suicidal ideas. You can consult your psychiatrist about medication. Second possibility is of borderline personality. In that case, you can consult a psychologist for personality assessment. In case, you need further help, you can ask. Thanks
