I figure the stigma is the same because the average person just hears bipolar. It really depends on your doctor, I know my husband is dx'ed with bipolar II but if he had my pdoc it'd be bipolar I. My dx. has been upgraded many times. I think as pdocs and therapists get to know our struggles they are able to give a better Dx.
