This reminds me of the psychologist I was working with when I was being treated as ADHD/unipolar depression. He didn't think I've ever exhibited true 'mania' because of my history... but then I learned about BPII through other sources and realized that he wasn't considering this.. or thinking of my behavior as hypomanic. After being diagnosed by the psychiatrists.. I saw him one more time and realized that he simply didn't know very much about BPII.
