At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I was grappling with suicidal tendencies, self-harm, and was frequently admitted to the hospital. My psychiatrist during my teenage years attempted to treat me with a variety of medication plans, which included antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotics. When I transitioned to an adult psychiatrist, we explored Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). Subsequently, he prescribed Clozapine. With a dosage of 200 mg, I was able to discontinue ECT. I have been on this medication for 12 years now. During this period, I have not had to be hospitalized, I hold a full-time job, and despite the requirement of monthly blood tests, I am completely comfortable with this medication regimen.
