Considering Medical Malpractice Lawsuit

medical malpractice attorney Massachusetts Oct 30, 2026
Location: Massachusetts. Psych NP doubled my antidepressant dose without a mood stabilizer when I was already diagnosed and documented with bipolar + showing manic symptoms. Spent some time in-patient 3 days after the dose increase. For those that don't know, SSRI antidepressants can cause mania in those with bipolar. This occurred in Massachusetts, but I moved back to NY. Life pretty much fell apart after. My career is heavily impacted. Not sure if pursuing legal action is worth it, what to expect on how long it will take, or what a reasonable outcome would be. Don't even know where to start. Been very depressed lately and could use any guidance/advice.
