I didn't mean that everyone who doesn't fit a bipolar diagnosis properly, has a minimal brain disorder. I only meant that there are lots of factors in our lives that can impact us. To be born is one of them.
The HelpGuide org says this a bout diagnosing bipolar:"
Getting an accurate diagnosis for bipolar disorder isn't always easy. The mood swings of bipolar disorder can be difficult to distinguish from other problems such as major depression, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder. (...)
Making the diagnosis of bipolar disorder can be tricky even for trained professionals, so it's best to see a psychiatrist with experience treating bipolar disorder rather than a family doctor or another type of physician."
When it comes to me, Borderline has never been in question. The same goes for ADHD, never. When it comes to depression, however there is a big YES with regard to me. (My small "ups" must be something else).
What Helpguide says about depression in Woman is very interesting:
