Yes, not me I've got what they think could be one but two just because professionals are never around to witness it and I don't go into a lot of details with em, what's the point? Heck, I don't even take medication or have a doctor now, but all you need for a bipolar 1 diagnosis is a single episode of full blown mania, you can never be truly manic again and that doesn't change it.

Now, are your depressions a lot of mixed states? Again, they can call that bipolar 1.

Really though the drug guidelines seem about the same for both and symptoms are treated as they come frequently deviating from those guidelines. There is a lot of hit and miss so, of you're find with your current situation, don't worry about the label.
