I'd bring it up. I was treated for depression over the course of ten years. I read a few books on the diagnosis of mental illness and recognized I'd been in a state of hypomania each time I came out of a depressive episode. I mentioned to my pdoc at the time that I thought I might be bipolar. She insisted I wasn't because I wasn't up for days, speed talking, have racing thoughts or grandiose thinking. Ten years later I had a full blown mania--it was kinda fun but also very frightening when God started talking to me and I heard my name mentioned on the radio and TV. It can take a long time to get the DX of BP and on your chart.
