My official diagnosis is BP2, but I know that BP1 would be more fitting. It's just that my psychiatrist does not know about the full extent of my manic and psychotic symptoms, sans some that happened during illness not related to BP. Still, the treatments are similar, and I didn't want to go on antipsychotics unless necessary (and mood stabilizers help me significantly, so I haven't felt a need for APs just yet).
