I mostly have struggled with depression with some hypo mania or mixed state. I think I've only had 1 or 2 true manic episodes, although my current pdoc said those were more mixed state, but they were most severe mania episodes I've had.

In fact I was originally diagonsed with depression as a teenager and then with "atypical" depression (because it was bipolar disorder).

I don't know what my diagonsis is other than bipolar disorder and social anxiety and agoraphobia (although it's not that bad). The medications work (for the most part) and that, I think, is more important than trying to figure out what kind of bipolar disorder you have.
