Same here re: diagnostic change. I was PTSD and MDD, Atypical.
I am told those "Atypical" depressions most often end up in the BP-2 category now that there is a BP-2 category.
I fully acknowledge the BP-2 label fits my experience the closest and is correct.
Just the idea that this BP-2 diagnosis is going to eventually make it to my medical chart where all of my specialists will see it and will wonder. I see a private pdoc; yet, in disability reviews, etc, my primary care sees all of the info and additionally asks my pdoc to participate (and my pdoc has helped out a lot in these situations.)
I guess the Truth is the Truth; yet, how much of it must come to light?
