The "r/o" means "rule out". Basically it means that the therapist has recognized symptoms of bipolar II (in this case) in the person, but doesn't know enough to say that yes they have it. They are considering the diagnosis, but need more information to make sure it really is bipolar, and that they aren't mistaking symptoms of another disorder.
