I was diagnosed 2 years ago and started a mood journal. I graphed everything obsessively for the 2 years. There were no patterns. I think most doctors wouldn't believe it but mine have seen it. Well - that's not totally true. In the fall I have a depressive episode, but every year it has different start and end times and length, so it's not much of a reliable pattern.
