I am curious about other peoples diagnoses of BP. I got diagnosed at 43. It rocked my world, naturally. Isn't that late for a diagnosis? I certainly don't want to be inappropriate in anyway, I am just trying to understand how this happened. I know the hell it is for me and hopefully it will get better and hasn't been so for all of you.
Thx |

I am BP1, have had psychotic episodes before, mostly lean toward the manic side, rarely depressed. 1st episode triggered by a depoprevera birth control shot, other manic episodes have come on when an antidepressant was added. not good. So I now say that I am allergic to ssri's. late 20's for me.

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. M |

I am bipolar with mood disorders,sometimes having psychosis with panic disorders,and obsessive compulsive disorder. These things have pretty well ruined my life. I think that I'm Bipolar II. My NP said that I have a PTSD variant because of the abuse that I have been through.
People treating us wrong,cruel words,and gossip can cause great harm to us over a period of time. Most of us are extremely sensitive emotionally. BF
