I had to change pdocs when I moved out of state. At our first meeting he said I didn't strike him as bipolar and he didn't think I was. A few months later I had an epic manic episode and ended up in the hospital. He then told me I had very severe bipolar I (which had already been diagnosed before). Now he tells me not to tell anyone I'm bipolar because I appear "very normal" when not in an episode. I've been stable for several years now and am contemplating moving out of state again. Not looking forward to finding another pdoc.
