I've always thought BP 1 1/2 would be more accurate for me too. I have mania, no question about it, and I've experienced psychosis. However, my version of mania has never caused me to strip off all my clothes and stroll down Main Street naked, or try flying out of a second-story window, or become violent, or have any really extreme behaviors. I've never even been in the hospital (came close a couple times, but wasn't admitted). It seems that there's still a lot of room for interpretation within the bipolar categories. Wonder if the next DSM revision will have BP III, IV, and so on?
