My T knew I was BP for months, but Pdoc would NOT add it to my Dx until yesterday. He dropped two of my meds and it sent me into a mixed episode that almost landed me in the hospital.
Finally saw it on paper:
"296.7 Bipolar I Disorder, Most Recent Episode Unspecified"
Hm not too sure how I feel about it.

I mean I know it's just a label.. but I guess it's a dose of reality.
