I was diagnosed in my early 30's.........after being in and out of therapy for years. My doctors missed it for years. Not entirely their fault since I wasn't completely honest with them about all of the problems I was having. I'm sure if I was as honest as I needed to be earlier, I would have been diagnosed earlier. I thought my manic issues were personality failures and so I kept them private from my doctors for far too long.

I hope you are able to get the answers you need about yourself. Best of luck.
