testing the brain for infections is not something most doctors will do unless you really make them.
this is about how some (many) bipolar disorder can be caused or made worse by infections within the brain, this is something almost no doctor will test for without being prompted to do so, but involved a metagenetic analysis taken from a spinal tap and does not sound fun
The takeaway: it’s imperative to test for these pathogens in any psychiatric disorder especially schizophrenia and bipolar disorders.

These are the easiest things you can do right now to improve your outlook going forward, if you want to then talk to your doctor about this before starting then please do, better yet print off this sheet and take it to the doctor and get their opinion on it.

If you are willing to try some more things that might (and very likely will) help facilitate the ability of your brain to heal then I have a few mor
