[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 112575, member: 1550"] It usually takes ten years from the first time a person goes for help until they are dxd. with bipolar. While I was a mood, phobic child, my real moodswings didn't kick in full force until I was thirteen. Then each mood lasted at least a year. I'm not sold on the "rapid cycling." There is no way to know for sure if you have bipolar unless you have a full blown episode, and then there are four types of bipolar. I think one day they will all be called Mood Spectrum Disorder. Without x-rays, you really DON'T know for sure unless, like me, you can physically feel yourself getting depressed or high. I did not have a "good" hour and a "bad" hour or a good or bad few days. They went on forever, so it was a little more obvious. It still took me ten years to get dxd. And I"m still not sure it's full blown bipolar. It's very confusing. All these disorders are almost impossible to diagnose with 100% certainty. [/QUOTE]
