If it weren't for the mixed episodes, I would fit bipolar ii exactly. I don't really care about specifics about diagnosis. The meds and other treatments for bipolar work for me when the treatments for unipolar depression did not and in fact make things worse. The only time I actually saw my official diagnosis is when I was applying for the disability grant through student finance. It's not really important to me.
