I was diagnosed quickly. Never have had psychosis or anything. Sometimes I wonder, but I don't doubt my diagnosis. Clear cut periods of long lasting depression and periods of hypomania lasting usually a couple months or more at a time. Also have anxiety. I was diagnosed BP2 after two sessions with a therapist, and then on my initial visit with my pdoc. Started on Lamictal and Neurontin that day. I've had periods of depression with hypomanic symptoms, so it kind of moved to BP NOS since the DSM didn't include mixed with BP2. Don't know if DSM 5 changed as far as that or not? Well I'm one of the two I guess. Regardless, the meds are helping.
