Just for the record, my BP diagnosis took four doctors, 10 visits and three medications to figure out. Nine months later I am officially Bipolar NOS (at least for now). I went from dysthymic, to cyclothymic to bipolar II, to dysphoric with mixed episodes and now just plain bipolar (nos for now as we try and find a med combo that works). It was not an easy process, nor was it a short one! It would really upset me to see the words bipolar thrown around so easily. I've yet to experience anyone diagnosed as bipolar on one visit or as the result of a "trend."
