How Can Bipolar Disease And ADHD Be Treated?

I am 63 and was diagnosed as bipolar and ADHD at 45. 4 years later had eschemic strokes, went to Mayo Clinic in MN, where they discovered this. That was pretty much my last contact with any healthcare and the general public except for a now-semi-retired psychiatrist who has prescribed for me for over 10 years. Because I am separated from my husband for over 10 years and have no family or friends, I have become totally agoraphobic. Even my psychiatrist appointments are by phone and my meds are delivered. I have searched Santa Fe and Albuquerque area for help, but don’t find the personalized rehabilitation I need. I took the opportunity to ask your advice: when there is limited care and options in the area you live in, and you can’t leave the state (because I am separated). There may be new meds and therapies that could help me in another area of the country. Physically, I think I am in good health and want someone to talk me out of this house so I can go wherever i need to go to get really well. Do you have any suggestions?

at first your age is 63 and you have least resources. so here in India we have many options available like video conferencing, skype calls, email consultation,etc. here medicines are also at an affordable rates.
u might require lamotrigine or Aripiprazole in low dosages for both the symptoms.
thank u
