IMO, it has to cause a certain level of impairment for it to be detected and then dxd, it's not just having moodswings like alot of people tend to think. Why do you think it may not be detected at this point? If you think it's *mild*, what caused you to even question yourself? Sorry, don't mean to seem nosey, just trying to get the full picture. In answer to your 1st question, yes, it's a progressive disorder. Take care. XOXO
