Is this opinion adequate for a nexus letter or does it not have enough rationale?
His current mood disorder dx, Bipolar I Disorder, is related to active-service Major Depressive Disorder dx. Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that manifests as major depressive episodes and/or hypo-manic/manic/mixed episodes. He was stable on Risperdal (Risperdal is FDA approved for manic episodes associated with Bipolar I Disorder) in active-service, unclear why a bipolar disorder dx was r/o and rx discontinued. Therefore, his mood disorder is etiologically related to his active-service and I agree with patient history/opinion in his C&P Mental Examination in 2012 which is consistent with our talks over 7-years of our sessions .
I have been his psychiatric provider since August 2006 and have seen on a weekly to
monthly basis since.
