Hi I am wondering if I got misdiagnosed because the dr I had was a teledoctor and I am not sure he understood me.
OK I dont have a manic episode very often but when I do its a doozy. I hallucinate all kinds of stuff (mostly religious stuff) audio and visual and have bipolar delusions and it usually gets bad enough that I have to be hospitalized. I was diagnosed as bipolar type one but this doctor seemed to think I was schitzoaffective bipolar type because of the hallucinations.
Normally one most days I am just depressed and I stay that way. I cant take any antidepressants because they throw me into mania. I dont normally halucinate unless I am in an manic episode. This is not an everyday thing.
So did this dr just misunderstand me and I am just bipolar 1 or am in really schizoaffective? I have a feeling he didn't understand. He was foreign with a heavy accent and it was a teledoctor because where I live thats all there is.
