I'm diagnosed as bipolar II. I find I'm mostly depressed with little hypomanic moods at times. Right now I'm pretty stable after the last med change. I have had truly manic phases but it has been many years so they changed my diagnosis. They used to have me a bipolar I.

I think talking to your pdoc will help you find out how to define it.

I've found it doesn't really matter what they diagnose me with because they use the same treatment. But it does help to know what's going on.
