You can be on "bipolar meds" without being bipolar. Meds are prescribed for several different reasons

Actually, I read an article recently about having only mania- no depression.

My doctor said she's leaning toward 'brief reactive psychosis' for me. She said she'll change her mind if I ever have another episode to give her something more to go on. It basically means something caused me to go nutty once, but nobody can tell me what or why. |

But I think your question is more along the lines of "I never have manic episodes anymore." I would say that's not that abnormal. The vast majority of bipolar folks spend most their time in either depression or normal moods. Mania is rare for most of us. So really the key is to know whether you've had at least one true manic episode. Do you think you have at any time? (I am way behind in this thread, so I apologize if this has been answered). |

My sleep specialist told me a lot of young women are being diagnosed with bipolar when they actually have narcolepsy. I’m being evaluated for narcolepsy and a few other sleep related issues. Makes sense that I would have a completely different diagnosis considering I don’t meet a lot of the criteria for bipolar anymore.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
