Welcome. Rajeev. It sounds like you have a lot in common with many of us who were incorrectly diagnosed with unipolar depressions for many years before the correct diagnosis of bp was discovered. I thought I was bp II until recently when I changed ins. companies & they required a dx on the presciption form. I take Abilify & that is approved for bp I & I don't think bp II so I thought I was using it "off label" & was freaking out that the ins. co. would deny me my medication. My provider said, no, you're bp I ! I was so happy! She said she has never had that response. I learned that even though my manic phases were closer to hypo manic & not "out there" (still overspending, not sleeping, joining every orgainization in the world, contacting people I haven't spoken to in years , etc.) but I didn't get into any trouble with the law, etc., but in my depression I did have delusions & paranoia & had a mixed episode so that I "qualified" as bp I ! Happy day so I could continue on my current meds.--Suzy
