If my Pdoc wanted to label my junk I would have about 6 or 8 I suppose .. But he is under the thought process that Bipolar is an umbrella and Bipolar peeps have lots of problems/issue/symptoms.

Everyone had anxiety of all flavors.

Also triggers, Many present as PTSD

Most everyone has traits and issues with BPD and OCD

Psychosis .. Maybe not so much of that, lots of slinking cats outta the corner of eyes or hearing that silly radio that we cant ever seem to find

ADHD yeah my T and Pdoc have brought it up and I'm like , Meh whatever if you wanna add it go ahead and add it.

So Bipolar can encompass a boat load of symptoms and some pdocs like to check off lots of boxes, or one like mine that doesn't feel the need to Micro manage each symptoms.

I am not invalidating your diagnosis , not at all. I'm just speaking for my own dealings with Bipolar.. When I have needed to go IP .. well that Pdoc always list every possible thing, I think it really for insurance purposes or maybe he just like the Labels. I dunno
