I was 33 (2005) when I first got diagnosed with bipolar. At first they said I had premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Then I saw an actual Pdoc who said it was bipolar NOS- not otherwise specified. Eventually my Pdoc said it was bipolar 1. I was diagnosed with depression while pregnant with N1 (1997) and post partum I’m depression after all 3. After N3 (2001) I know now it was post partum psychosis but no mental health professional would diagnose anything other than post partum depression.
