Know to the services from 13. Diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder at 14. Diagnosed with Asperger's and Anxiety at 16. Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder at 18.
All my psychiatrists were very reluctant to diagnose anything that may affect me for my entire life, so even though they had their suspicions about a possible Bipolar or Borderline diagnoses, it wasn't officially diagnosed until I was 18. I was however on mood stabilisers and antipsychotics from 16 onwards.
