I am newly diagnosed with BP as well. Since it was treatment induced with. Prozac at a high dose, my pdoc said it was bipolar 2. This last time I saw her she wrote on the receipt bipolar 1! Maybe it is because she wants me to have blood work before prescribing depakote. I don't know, but it was very disconcerting.

I am not even sure I am bipolar! No one in my family thinks I am at all, including husband and kids.

I am struggling with this possible diagnosis and I have an appointment with another pdoc for a second opinion.

Has anyone else here felt that they were misdiagnosed?
