To those of you who weren't diagnosed until you found yourself in the hospital, how did your diagnosis go?

In my first experience it was basically a student (I'm not even sure what year but they didn't identify themself as yet a doctor). I was asked to answer a series of surveys. I then saw a psychiatrist for no more than 5 minutes who announced my diagonosis of Borderline Personality Disorder.

I then ended up rehospitalized elsewhere and was seen at length by both psychiatrist and residents and given the diagnosis of bipolar - which seems to be correct.
