Hello. I am a 25 year old female who was diagnosed with OCD when I was a teenager. Last year I was diagnosed with ADHD. A few months after this I was diagnosed with "mood disorder" after having a few hypomanic episodes. A week or two ago, I had what seemed like a depressive or mixed episode. I went to the pdoc and asked her about the mood disorder diagnosis. She told me it was actually noted in my chart as bipolar NOS. My aunt on my dad's side of my family has bipolar disorder (not sure if it's I or II). A couple of my family members on that side of the family have tried to commit suicide for reasons I do not know (bipolar?). Anyhow, that is my story. I am going to explore this topic more with my psychologist next week. Thanks for reading.
