Johnnygaga, Hello and welcome to PC.

I agree with kaliope that bipolar gets diagnosed way before the appropriate diagnosis does. I was misdiagnosed with it. If I laughed with emotion, I was accused of being manic. I am sorry that you have been seriously ill but you are here and it is for a reason. We have some very supportive people here. Browse the numerous forums and keep reaching out.

If you need any help in navigating this site feel free to contact a community liaison or moderator. Best wishes here at PC.
