Bi-polar patients are smart to start with disability, preferably after first hospitalization if not before. The problem with meds is they give good results initially yet after several months must be changed as they run 'sideways', according to doctors. Not the fault of the patient, it's just the way meds work.

Actress Patty Duke mentions the flattening effect of meds. When tapped for a stage role, in her autobiography she mentions deliberately discontinuing meds in order to more fully display emotional range vital to performing.

Schizophrenia is generally a journey towards inevitable disintegration of the personality and cognitive ability.

Bi-polar is superficially easy to treat, yet can as with schizophrenia include psychotic features. Undue stress is to be avoided, thus good idea to get disability.

And forget naysaying goody-goodies who lay a guilt trip on you. If you're bi-polar, you well know an underlying factor is that you've endured sustained abuse at the hands of another. You've earned your disability in spades.

The last thing you need is more guff from some greed-head psycho CA. Your doctor will readily agree and if up to the task, he'll happily notify CA scumbags that his patients are not to be abused lest they incur troubles that make FDCPA breaches seem like a Soho picnic.

Troublingly,
