I’ve been diagnosed with bipolar and anxiety. I got into some trouble with law. What is the out come?

I started seeing my family MD and he first prescribed me "Lexapro 10mg) and xanax .25. He changed my dose in January on the lexapro and it made me depressed and get alcohol. I got into trouble with the law. They charged me with terroristic threats 1, simple assault, 2, and disorderly conduct 3.All misdemeanors. They gave me a plea bargain to sign they threw out the terroristic threats, and simple assault if I plead guildty to disorderly conduct.. Now I find out I have Bipolar 3 disorder and anxiety and a paranoia problem. My lawyer presented all this when I put my plea in front of judge for sentencing. But now they moved the sentencing to May 26 2009 after receiving this evidence. Note from my MD stating lexapro being I’m 24 and could of caused this incident. I have been scared to death since January 30th worrying about going to jail. This happened in Erie Pennsylvania and its their court system. I’ll have a whole new judge for the actual sentencing. I have had no prior records at all with the law. My first offense and plus with this new medical evidencen and I’m going to a mental place for couseling on my own for anger management and I also have a psychiatrist now on my own and all firearms I owned have been sold. The police are holding 3 guns of mine and a knife they confiscated that night of the incident. The guns were not used in the incident I threatened to kill the police while I was hand cuffed after they slammed my head into the floor. That is written in the disorderly conduct charge. That should of been in the terroristic threats not that many have said.. I am very sorry for what I did that night to the cops and everyone else.. Finding out your bipolar and may have schizophrenia makes me feel bad about myself. my question is what do you think I will receive with medical evidence the judge seen and being its my first time offense in Pennsylvania? Any answers would be great expecially someone who suffers or has been through a situation like this before.

Don’t feel bad about yourself because you have bipolar disorder and may have schizophrenia….. A lot of people have depression.. They say 1 out of 5 people have some kind of mental health condition… It sounds like you were having a manic episode…
