It was from my hospital records that I learned I'd been diagnosed with bipolar 1. Up till then I'd been dx'd with bipolar NOS. It was weird that a depressive episode led to my definitive diagnosis...what probably did it was the psychosis I experienced during that episode. I saw black and grey cats running under the linen cart in the ER. There was no mention of it in the summary, although there likely was in the progress notes, which I didn't get to read. Who knows?
