I have diagnosed myself with bipolar syndrome / anxiety disorder. There are alot of overlapping conditions of different mental disorders, so it's hard to say. I suffer from depression, severe social anxiety, and anxiety in general. I also go through phases of extreme mania. I know I don't have the proper credentials to diagnoze myself. I went to my doctor, who had me fill out a few different questionars. He told me himself that I am suffering some serious mental problems that require medication. My older brother was prescribed adderall by my doctor until he tested positive for cocaine on a blood test. My little brother alltogether refused to submit a blood test. My mother has also abused prescribtion drugs from the same doctor. When I first saw him he prescribed me wellbutrin which did nothing. I waited two months and yesterday he told me he won't prescribe me any stimualants because of my family. I offered to submit a drug test but he said no. What can I do to get the help I need?
