Interesting though, I first went to a counselor in 92 for depressive type issues but not treated, just counseled. Went to pdoc for adhd symptoms in 01, depression in 04, again in summer 06 and at my breakdown in Sept 06 (second depression) thats when it was realized I was having manic behavior in the middle of the depressions and dxed bp. It took a long time to get my diagnosis even though I was seeing the same pdoc for 5 months in 06.
