I am a fraternal non identical twin of a someone who was diagnosed with BiPolar since childhood. I have not been given the diagnoses ofr Bipolar but have been diagnosed with GAD. Wondering what your symptoms are? I know I've got something and trying to find out if it is Bipolar in nature...don't think it's just anxiety. Any thoughts on this topic would be welcomed.

It sounds like you know you have something_. What aspects of your life made you think and or believe you know you had something? How is your relationship with your twin, although you are not identical, there are probably things to learn if you examine your similiarities/differences...

I've read about a GAD/BiPolarII overlap although the following example has said to been "extreme."

Any fraternal twins of Bi Polars?
