BIPOLAR DISORDER COMMUNITY
BP: 1 vs 2

BP: 1 vs 2

So my pdoc says I'm BP 2 but I have all the symptoms of BP 1... I read the list of symptoms for mania vs hypomania and I have more mania symptoms than hypomania... I have a feeling this is why my meds are not working... what do I do? other than tell my pdoc, (which I doubt he would take me seriously)...

I know I should know the answer but I need to think aloud... going through a "breakup" (very complicated) so my head's not on at all right now, let alone straight (little humour)...I wish I was stable - can't say normal any more b/c I kinda like not being normal (what's normal any ways, right?)

Well after keeping a mood tracker and printing it out for your psychiatrist discuss your concerns with your psychiatrist and ask them why they made that specific diagnosis and what they see is going on and how they intend to treat it.
