Diagnosed Bipolar Disorder In Mental Health Center. Where To Get More Accurate Diagnosis?
Hi, My name is Yvonne. I went to a community mental health center a year ago to talk about some issues that were bothering me, especially a problem with short term memory. I left there with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder I. I have been researching the disorder and although I have some symptoms, I have never experienced a manic episode. Several years a go I took an online survey for adult ADD and answered yes to the majority of the questions. How can I get a more accurate diagnosis?

Hi
Differentiating ADHD from Bipolar may be quite difficult. 20% of Bipolars have these two present together. You may not have got a clear episode of Mania but episodes of Depression with very mild hypomania qualifies for BPD Type2
You can always discuss the issues with your doctor
