I think there's enough fighting about which is worse blah,blah, blah that it wouldn't be helpful. Often I and II depend on which pdoc you go to. Often one doesn't relies the start of an up episode. Which is always hypo-mania right? The treatment be it therapy, drugs, lifestyle is all the same. My BP mixture isn't the same mixture as anyone else and that's a good thing. I have not met many that don't have more than one DX. and those that do not generally don't because of there pdoc's believes. I feel the depression is not usually talked about on the forum because of it's isolating nature and the burdening feeling that comes with it. Maybe put BP2 in the title if anything.
