Suggest Possible Medication For Bipolar Condition
my husband is bipolar and has been seeing a counselor for awhile and she talks to his doctor about meds but its like pulling teethe getting them to realize he isnt getting any better on these meds and they havent changed them. His dr I think is scared to for some reason he has bcbs and it would be much easier to get a shrink who can prescribe the meds themselves but we are having a hard time finding one

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I would like to have more information on his actual therapy.
What about his symptoms? How does he behave?
I would recommend consulting with another psychiatrist for another professional opinion. Consulting with the patient is very important to determine the real clinical situation.
Drugs should not be prescribed based on the family description of the situation.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
