I am curently dx as bipolar but the one where you don.t get manic I forget if they calll it BP 1 or 2. Anyway before moving to Florida I was alwys dx as major depression recurent. That seems to fit me better but my doctor here won't chane the dx we are even thinking of changing doctors because of this. I am currently stable on meds go to my Pdoc my T and an inperson support group. There are a lot more people at the group with BP than just dpression. I don't get the mania they do so I am confused

Hi Shery53, it's called Bipolar 2 when you have hypomanic rather than manic episodes. Glad you're stable
