Q: Do you have any other mental illnesses besides bipolar?
No, but I have had temporary symptoms of other mental illnesses in the past (dissociative symptoms, mild specific phobias, agoraphobia) but they were resolved. I have had significant issues with anxiety, at times. Whether that was part of my bipolar disorder or not is unclear. One hospital record included "Generalized Anxiety Disorder" with bipolar disorder, but that dx disappeared. I no longer meet the criteria for GAD. Also, I was diagnosed with alcohol dependence in the past, but unlike most people with it, it was determined that I don't really have true alcoholism. It was only self medication of my bipolar disorder. I have not abused alcohol for years.

Q: What symptoms of mental illness have you made great progress at minimizing?
