Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.

I went to therapy yesterday and we talk about my symptoms and diagnose. My therapist think I am bipolar but my pdoc think I have major depression and some feature of borderline personality disorder.
