I have to admit the first episode I felt more social, bought a car, and ipad and iphone and that's about it---they said hypomanic to me so I'm not getting how they get bipolar 1 from that , it may be why its still a rule out----I don't think anyone has said I fit into any kind of mold as far as stereotypes---they tend to specifically say that I don't.

As far as medical vs psych----if I'm having a medical problem it means I don't need psych meds, may not need any meds, if its psych I probably need APs on a more consistent basis----generally I'd prefer no meds to meds.
I think they're getting bipolar I as a rule out because of your psychosis. Bipolar II doesn't have psychosis associated with it according to the DSM.
