Tonight when I was doling out the second pack into my pill sorter, I read the literature. It specifically says it is schizophrenia or bipolar type 1. My diagnosis is (was?) bipolar 2. I have only had hypomania recently (last 5 years?) except for one delusional episode where I still had a nagging doubt about what I was believing that was a link back to reality. Maybe.
I will ask next week but I am curious if anyone else is taking latuda with a type 2 diagnosis.

Okay, I think I am understanding your post better. Are you concerned that your therapist is now treating you for psychosis? If so, for sure ask her...other than that I agree with most others here...it's more important to treat your symptoms than to have a specific diagnosis. Diagnoses are so fluid.
