is there such thing as having a minor bipolar disorder? my therapist is suggesting this and it baffles me. Just because I do a million things at once and get anxiety often when overwhelmed. I am really upset. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

what type of therapist are you seeing? FWIW, a diagnosis of bipolar disorder should be made and managed by a psychiatrist. Not to mention that there is no such diagnosis called "minor bipolar disorder" [ Reply | More

I've been diagnosed as bipolar 2, and the diagnosis totally fits. My mood swings are dominated by depression, and then out of no where I'll be slightly manic. People who are bipolar 2 have shorter, less intense mania than people who are bipolar 1, and according to my (now former) psychiatrist, tend to have more depression than mania. Plus, a good amount of time I'm just "regular". I was really upset with the diagnosis, and have had no issues over the past 8 months, but I know that the swings will be back one day! [ Reply | More
