i strongly suspected i was bipolar in 1997
i finally convinced a doc i was bipolar in 2000
i flew across the world with no planning and virtually no cash
and my doc still wouldn't diagnose me bipolar
... like, duh....
ummm... i sought treatment because i mistook ADD as being an ultra-rapid cycler
took me another 2 years to get an ADD diagnosis (+bipolar II)
i have seen 6 pdocs in 6 years, and have consistently found it very hard to get diagnoses other than anxiety and depression
