What to do if i have been taking depakote 1000mg a day for a year now for will my headache psychiatrists diagnose me with bypolar?

Depakote can be: used for more than one purpose. Taking Depakote for headaches does not mean that you have bipolar disorder. If you do see a psychiatrist - you can explain what condition the Depakote is used for. Take care.
