She won't be able to advise you in a professional capacity.
You need to contact your GP and either ask for a referral to the crisis team or CHMT.
I have BPD, not bipolar, but from what I know about bipolar, recovery isn't generally as simple as just taking medication. The media lies.

Thank you. I was referred to the crisis team and they where the ones that did the assessment. The lady said she couldn't give a diagnosis as she wasn't a psychiatrist. Just seems like mental health care system is disorganized/underfunded because they don't seem bothered about treating this treating this issue.

There should be psychiatrists that assess you at some point when you're under the crisis team. However if you're not currently in crisis, then you should go to your GP.

I said that in the past. They don't seem bothered they just make you feel like you are wasting their time and rush you so they can finish their consultation.

It sucks when you have a bad experience, but if you need support, then you have to try again.

I would never talk to a shrink about my mental health. There are jobs/roles that will be completely inaccessible for you if you have a shaky mental health record.
Talk to friends, family, etc. But avoid shrinks like the plague.

Thank you for the advice. I had a feeling this was the case.
