I was diagnosed as type 2 in the hospital but never really fully discussed it with my pdoc. We talk more symptoms and deal with those in our visits.

That was my original DX too. When I first started seeing my pdoc, he wasn't quite sure what I had so he gave me BP-NOS as a provisional diagnosis. It just means "it looks like bipolar, acts like bipolar, and walks like bipolar, but we can't figure out what flavor it is yet".
