Another strength would be that the family does care about each other, even though they may not always show it.

Not only did we discuss Adult bipolar disorders, we also studied Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) as well.

She would spend massive amounts of money and was in debt to her company as a result of using her company’s credit card. We discussed that without historical information on the client; a diagnosis of Bipolar 1 Disorder would not be appropriate. I would be interested to know if this supposed client’s symptoms would change over the course of time.
