I feel that bipolar is a possibility because my father has it. My brother has schizophrenia but i feel like he definitely is bipolar as well. Both of these would be type 1. Also my grandmother on my moms side could possibly have had it but during a time when diagnosis wasnt really availablr. She was dx'd schizophrenic...but this was the 70s.

I know that i wasnt depressed for about a year and it has now reared its ugly head again. I know i get depressed as all heck. Just wonder if the obsessing and planning is part of a hypomania. I had been diagnosed bipolar a few times from the age of 17-21 but im now 30 & havent had that diagnosis again after the age of 21 despite several inpatient stays for my major depressive disorder. I am going to the doctor in a few weeks and starting mental health treatment again. I guess i am more looking for a starting place of how to bring it up and what might be useful as evidence of hypomania.
Thank you!
