Me too actually. I guess it's hard for a doc who doesn't see you frankly manic or mixed to underwrite a BP1 dx. Mine here has used BP 1 and BP NOS but in the US my pdoc always used NOS and didn't even think i was bipolar at first, despite what i told him of early episodes -- i had much more mania at onset. my current pdoc says that is quite common.

so hopefully we can both look forward to less of that. not that i look forward to depression. sheez. i really have lost my marbles.
