He scrolls like mad on his phone during our appointments because he's referencing every single point, every med idea, everything. The appointments are rushed, of course (20 mins), but I wish he'd just LISTEN before he starts scrolling.
I have no history of BP1. I had one pdoc once who flirted with a possible BP1 for a moment, but backed away from it. So it's always been BP2. Honestly, the most accurate description I've ever had (I feel) of my personal disorder was many, many years ago when bipolar disorder was still referred to as "manic depression" and was not over-diagnosed like it is today. I was dx'ed as having "agitated depression." Today we would call that a "mixed state."
