Chasing a Diagnosis: A Reckoning with Bipolar II Disorder

Originally diagnosed as having major depressive disorder, it took 28 years of searching to finally get diagnosed correctly as suffering from bipolar II disorder. This journey took me through years of med changes, several mental hospitalizations, shock therapy and many more tribulations. It is my hope that my story will encourage others to look at all possible solutions to their depression. My depression didn't get better until I found the correct diagnosis.
