Now after all these twenty plus years. I am diagnosed as bipolar. And the treatment seems to be very effective. It is so encouraging to finally see a brighter light at the end of the tunnel. So I send best wishes and hopeful hugs for all you folks.

Sounds like the docs saw the depression, but didn't see the manic episodes so.... bad deal that has finally got you what you needed. Congrats and hugs.

Can a person have Bipolar Disorder without having manic episodes?
It seems like sometimes, people with treatment resistant depression
respond to mood stabilizers.
I have never had a manic episode.

Be strong and stay transformed!
Also occupy your time with worthwhile activities, pursue your passion
and avoid things that can make you loose focus.
You will consolidate on the results so far.
