Hi,
Welcome!
I wonder what you mean by calling your diagnosis "level one."
That is a little confusing to me.
Usually we say Bipolar 1 or Bipolar 2.
Bipolar 2 is more severe usually but the doctors have good meds for it.
Bipolar 1 is harder to treat (in my mind) but causes less disruption in people's lives.
There are overlaps between 1 and 2 of course. Some people move back and forth between them depending on the psychiatrist.
I'm not sure which one I am in fact. When I was diagnosed in the old days (

) pdocs did not make these kinds of distinctions.
