Most people with bipolar go to see a doctor when they are depressed, not manic. It is common to be diagnosed with depression first. For years I went to my doctor about every 3 to 4 months for something for anxiety. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with bipolar did it come clear that I am anxious when I'm hypomanic. I was having hypomanic episodes and didn't know what they were.
