When I was a young teenager due to apparent adjustment issues/behavior problems noticed in grade school. It actually was my illness, depression for the most part. They could not figure this out back then. Then in my early twenties, for the depression itself. I was eventually diagnosed BP in my 40s. So what? 30 years between initial symptoms and a correct diagnosis?
BTW The Chinese documented this illness in the 1500s. The DSM-II recognized this MI back in 1968.
