Wouldn't it be so great if they could?! I remember when I told my last pdoc about my doubts she was like "yeah, that's basically another sign you are bp - it's the people who come in already thinking they have it that usually don't." I keep telling myself just one more episode, just one more diagnosis and I'll let myself believe it - easier said than done.
