“In fact, I’m not sure any level of training or education can equip a professional to understand it.”
Agree with your view. As stated, I was an RN with a psych degree and it’s just hard to diagnose. This sounds like a duel dx but I was never in a capacity to diagnose and bipolar, far as my 24 years saw, is very hard to diagnose without a long time of observation of behaviors.
Appeared some psychiatrists had a good education on bipolar but some...I do not know. Some I could not se bipolar. It’s not an easy diagnoses.
