Do psychiatrists often test drugs on patients to rule out disorders?
hello 19m here, so my psychiatrist says he think i might have bipolar and said that he will put me on vraylar for a month to test if i do have it or not, I don't know but this sounds to me wrong somehow can someone please confirm to me if this is standard practice or not and should i comply ? he has been the best psychiatrist i ever saw (i have been to 10+ in 3 years) but i am lowkey scared of trying a new medication, thanks
