The doctor has diagnosed my husband as slightly bipolar. Who ever heard of slightly? Either he is or he is not.. am I wrong????

He may just be indicating he is showing some signs that could be indicating this could be a future diagnoses. Unfortunately, Bipolar disorder is so many times missed as a diagnoses.

Bipolar is a VERY DIFFICULT diagnosis to make, even the experienced pros get it wrong, or need time to zero in on the right words.

By all means, get a second opinion.

To #11; it is very unprofessional (IMHO!) to base a diagnosis on what a bf says! Explains the "ex" part!

I think so. Seems to me I have noticed varying degrees of severity.

Thanks everyone I will try to convince my husband to seek another opinion.
