Eh? not quite CN but close, Eh? I was bent out of shape when i got diagnosed after 12yrs chronic depression with treatment with prozacwhich resulted in my pdoc thinking I was doing GREAT, when in reality, I was manic. After I crashed, big time, and got several opinions, one from a 'world famous' pdr at reseach univ, that 'wrote the book' and defined bpII, I happened to trace back when bpII first started showing up as a defined dx...it looks like late 1990's. Anybody else notice this?

> Print out the questionaire, preferably with your answers, and bring it in to your psych to discuss. I'm not a professional, but from my experience with people bi-polar can be hard to differeniate from schizophrenia. Even if your psych doesn't agree with the results of the questionaire it will be able to open up areas that are distressing to you. Sometimes we aren't able to communicate this in such a way that the another person really knows where we are coming from.
