For many years, I was diagnosed with Severe Atypical Depression and Anxiety.

As time went on, and after working together with the same pdoc for a few years, the diagnosis was changed to BP II.

Just a note: When I was first diagnosed, there was no BP II diagnostic option available in the DSM.

I experience very severe and lengthy depressions. I am rarely-- very, very rarely-- hypomanic. It's so rare, I could argue I am "never" hypomanic.

I hope you find a diagnosis/info. which somehow helps you to enjoy life!
