My doctor's notes say: "It sounds as though she has an impulsive, open temperament plus a probable bipolar disorder that combines to create more symptomatology"
and then under diagnoses says: "Unspecified Mood Disorder (r/o bipolar II d/o, r/o MDD with anxious distress)" I believe r/0 = rule out, but what does d/o mean? I'm also confused why it says rule out BP 2? Does that mean they've ruled it out, or that in order to give me a firm diagnosis it's something they'd need to rule out?? (or is it because I once experienced "mildly psychotic" symptoms?) |

They have to be sure you aren't BP II before they diagnose you. It sounds like right now they think it is BP II versus MDD but other things could come up still.
