I was diagnosed BP by the first psychiatrist who saw me. I was about 25/26 (more than 20 years ago. At that time the profession did not have categories of BPI or BP II.
Before I was treated (and afterwards while the meds were get getting changed around), I was extremely anxious. I lived in a mixed mood.
With treatment, I have some anxiety and lots of depression.

I have first cousins on both sides of my family who are diagnosed BP.
