bipolar psychologist
What would you think if you went to a psychologist/counselor if you knew he had bipolar disease?
I am thinking of going into psychology or counseling program and I wonder if having bipolar disease would be a positive thing or a negative thing if I my future patients knew I was/am suffering from this disease. Would you think that you would want a normal psychologist treating you or would you think that the fact that I have bipolar disease could give me more in the way of treating you? What would you think?
it's not a disease- it's a disorder.
being bipolar won't stop you from being a good psychologist.
not knowing about your subject will.

DescriptionI want to invite you to take an experiential and phenomenological journey through one of the most misunderstood psychiatric disorders – Bipolar Disorder. This piece of work highlights it’s nature: it’s circularity, particular cognitive style and of course, it’s mood. The cognitive style of the depressive portion of the illness is kind of like looking at the world and yourself through a carnival mirror, reality becomes very distorted. One’s perceptions, thoughts, feelings and interactions with others are all in response to what one sees in the mirror – and it feels as if there is no way out. When you are finished with this book, my goal is that the reader will be able to understand and identify both depression and Bipolar in your world. Depression alone is the most frequent, but most treatable psychiatric disorder that exists. I hope this material is disturbing. It was meant to be. Do something about these disorders in your world. Encourage loved ones to go for help, because this disorder can be lethal for some, but for most it’s just constant despair.
