Millions of people with bipolar are misdiagnosed with unipolar depression. The young woman in this podcast, Melody Moezzi, is one of those people...who was misdiagnosed for 10 years! Rather than being discouraged, Melody rallied and became an advocate for people with bipolar disorder. In addition to being a published author, Melody is an attorney. Melody explains to us how her misdiagnosis happened and what you can do to prevent this kind of misdiagnosis from happening to you or someone you love. (Hint: it involves mood charts. For a link to sample mood charts, instructions on how to use them, and blank charts, just click here at http://www.psychiatry24x7.com/bgdisplay.jhtml?itemname=mooddiary). Your Thoughts?: Have you or someone you know ever been misdiagnosed? Can mood charts help you?
