I have, without a doubt, severe bipolar I. I've had the diagnosis for many years and all my doctors agree and are quite firm about this. BPI with dysphoric mania and frequent mixed episodes.

Somehow I left the hospital with a lab order saying I was there for severe recurrent MDD. I did have severe recurrent depression in the context of bipolar but I am definitely bipolar. I don't know if this was an error or if the resident who I thought was so great wasn't or what but I can't wait to see my pdoc Monday to find out why they would even consider changing things at this point.
