So, I have decided that I am going to get some medical ID tags made up. I need some help with abbreviations. The information I want to put on is that I have schizoaffective disorder bipolar type and that I take specific medications which I am trying to get abbreviations for. Also an emergency contact. Any help will be appreciated.

Hey @Former-Member, as Outlander said, it's a great idea to have a discussion with your GP and possibly any relevant people in your support team around this. The other thing I would say to consider is the purpose for you of getting the ID tag- I say this as my tag has only the name of the condition I have and the number for the doctor they can ring for more information as mine is more for medical emergencies, so figuring out your purpose might determine who's number it might be best to put down. Hope this helps & you're abe to figure it out!
