I am the only one in my family with an 'official' diagnosis but my wife and I both think our daughter has bipolar as well. But she is 19 and an adult and is not interested in hearing that she could be like her dad...and that is really hard for me because I want her to get help early and not struggle for 20 years like I did before getting diagnosed.

My oldest sister is deff in need of a diagnosis but she is in denial. I think my dad has some symptoms but no one in my family is as off the charts as I am. Thankfully while they may have bipolar they don't swing as wildly as I have.
