As far as diagnosis, don't quote me though, it is my understanding that if you've ever had an episode of full blown mania, you'll have a bipolar I diagnoses.

That being said, I wouldn't get to caught up in the I or II thing. If I've learned anything about bipolar, it's that anything is possible. I think it is entirely possible to have only one episode of mania and then never have one again. Every single one of us has a our own unique course of illness with our own collection of symptoms.

Hope things go well with the pdoc appointment. Hugs
