I've been diagnosed for two years bp1. I was diagnosed with depression for about 15 years. Its common to misdiagnose bp as depression. Reading about the symptoms, I know I was bp back in my teens. I'm now 50. I think I had it so young because I lost my parents when I was young. Trama can trigger it early. I'd say the symptoms have slowly gotten worse. But the meds are working good, holding my breath, for the last year. I had some depression but it was pretty minor. I've been in the hosp. three times in the last three years or so. That was for a total of ten days. They say it gets worse. I'm going to have to trust in god and the pharmaceutical companies to help me though it.
