If someone suffers a single hypomanic episode in a time of unprecedented stress and sleep deprivation, do they get a BP2 diagnosis for life? If that same person decides to manage their disorder without medication, is it worth questioning/ changing the diagnosis? Specifically, if a BP2 diagnosis impacts one’s ability to get certain jobs or life insurance, who can check or access that information?
Unrelated, are there good resources that explore the relationships between BP2 / ADHD /ASD? How they have some similar symptoms, are difficult to manage together, etc.
