i'm late into this thread..but I went through this ..thinking I had BP when it was very bad seasonal depression...with AD induced mania...and mood swings..
I wanted a BP diagnosis really because when you get hit with mental illness its so bloody draining you want DSM stamped and treated pronto..and you want the hardest label so you get the hardest drugs and most rigorous treatments..also the label helps explain your behaviours to all your friends in one easy to understand word that lets it all of the hook.
