Hi jefftele,
Im bp2 and the dx happened because after an year and a half and several different ad's my depression would return.I also believe that my "bottoming out"on ad's made my depressions more severe.
Best bet to really know if you are bp is see a pdoc......I can speculate that you may be bp but only a pdoc can dx and plan treatment.
Good luck in your quest!
Hope the info helps.
