Well in my experience my BP ended up changing over the years even though I was medicated. I was originally BP II. Then I ended up BP I rapid cycling, and then BP I mixed episodes. I would think I would be just BP I right now because I'm not in a mixed episode right now, help me out guys if I'm wrong on this? Personally, I like to know so I can educate myself and understand what is truly going on with me. So when I was told I was rapid cycling I educated myself and then I knew what was going on so everything made sense. For me, it's kind of like when I was told I had BP I was like everything makes sense now. So to answer your question, all of the pdocs that I have seen have told me where I am on the spectrum. Sorry for the rambling on, having a hard time making sense today.
