Diagnosed with Major Depression @ 16 y.o.
Severe Atypical Depression @ 23 y.o.
Bipolar Depression (BPII) in my 50's.

(I still struggle with whether or not I have a true BPII diagnosis, as it still seems like more of a major depression to me. Either way, the treatment is the same.)

It's been a lifetime of severe physical illness and depression.
