farmergirl, I was interested in reading that Bipolar II's have depression 90% of the time when they are having any kind of episode. That fits my story. But I understand that only one episode of mania puts a depressive into the bipolar category, unless it can be demonstrated that the mania was solely caused by anti-depressants.

Not to sound like a broken record, but I still think having psychotic episodes is one distinguishing factor between I's and II's. I'm going to look this idea up to see if it does have validity.

Note: My husband has been labeled as a "Mild Bipolar I." I think that's interesting. Anybody else get this kind of label?
