I just went to the new Dr. I've been waiting to see. Turns out an episode that I didn't realize was an episode, about 12 years ago, qualifies me as Bi Polar I. He did say that I was Mixed Bi Polar at the end of the session when I was leaving. Is this a different
 diagnosis or a sub under Bi Polar I????

It sounds to me like you are having a mixed episode which is still under the diagnosis of bipolar one but it's still possible to be diagnosed as mixed bipolar.

I'm not sure but I believe "mixed" is your mood state. You can be depressed, stable, hypomanic, manic or mixed. BP1 is your diagnosis.

Thanks guys. After researching it a little I see that it's considered a classification, they used a specific word for it but that was basically what it was. Like a sub title. I'm so confused now. I've been reading too much I think!

 They started using this term in the DSM 5. And you're right, it's an add-on/subtitle to an already existing dx, that specifies symptomatic stuff that is happening during a current episode. Hope that helps. |

That's it! Thanks for helping me out. Don't know that I'll be able to remember that word but I'll try....
