I was diagnosed with mdd at 14 and, after much, much bizarre behavior and what was then rapid mood changes, was diagnosed with bp at age 15. I must admit that at the time I didn’t believe I actually had it but I was young and I thought the label made me unique so I liked having it. When I got better, drastically better, I truly believed I never had it and walked away from my pdoc and meds completely. Then I had a major psychotic break at 28 which was followed by 3-4 years of pure hell. Now, I could only wish that I didn’t have that label!!! Bp is a horrible illness.

Talk it over with your doctor and I second the suggestion of having a full blood check because certain things, like issues with your thyroid, can mimic the illness.
