About redheadleo

Hi! I've been in treatment since I was about 12 years old, I had what you could call a " nervous breakdown " when I was in 6th grade. I was first diagnosed with schizophrenia, but was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder. They changed my diagnosis because my symptoms changed. I once thought I heard voices, but a few years ago, they pretty much stopped and the mood swings started. When I was 12 I went to a psychiatric hospital. After that I was in 2 mental health clinics. I'm currently being treated at a daily outpatient center.Despite all this, I still got my GED!

More About redheadleo

As of June 2011, I am out of the daily program and now  i go to individual therapy every 2 weeks. I see a nurse practitioner once a month for my meds. And now, I'm looking for a job and hopefully I can find one and get the independence and feeling of self empowerment I wish to have!
