I wasn’t diagnosed until age 43 but looking back in therapy I was showing signs at age 6
I thought everyone had a racing mind and mood swings. What did I know?
Getting the diagnosis isn’t paramount it’s treating the symptoms. Many Pdoc take months to years to hand out the label which I think is good , meanwhile your getting treated anyway.
I really believe Therapy is helpful for anyone struggling with a mental illness of any kind. And in your case I would say you need a separate Therapist and also marriage counselor.
Bipolar often makes life difficult but everyone mental illness or not struggles with life for one problem or another.
I hope you find answers to your questioned.
Also make sure you have a physical with full lab work , thyroid and hormones can mimic Bipolar.
