So for me I went in for my physical at my GP. I was sitting there on the exam table and he walks in and says, "good morning, how are you?" I was then on the floor in a ball weeping. So, he had me take the depression and bipolar tests there in the office, when they came up positive he sent my to a psych who then confirmed diagnosis of bipolar NOS and also gave me these huge tests which got me my other diagnosises. We did some digging and I told her the story about my "possible psychotic episode" which lasted five years. She then gave me the psychotic features thingy, but said she couldn't diagnose schizoaffective off of it because it had ended 5 years ago.

And then my money ran out. I was like $400 in the hole and couldn't see her any more. So I never got bipolar I or II specifically.

That was in 2009. I haven't had any help since then.
