I think Major Depression masks Bipolar in some people. I also thought I had SAD however obviously now I know at certain times of the year I'm at a Bipolar low.
Seeking help no matter how long you wait is better than never seeking help at all.

It does run in my family but I only found out when I mentioned I thought I had it to my sister and she told me she did. It makes sense she does in retrospect but I only knew she had MDD and anxiety issues. I think the major depression masked the bipolar and the OCD just seemed like anxiety since I struggle with intrusive thoughts and less obvious compulsions. Is your dad getting treatment? Sorry to hear he's dealing with that. If you think you have it maybe you could bring it up to get screened.
