Hey everyone! I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder 2 in 2017. However, things happened recently and I went to a new psychiatrist and he believes I don’t have bp2 but chronic major depressive disorder with mixed features. He believes my symptoms of hypomania are not enough to classify me as bipolar. I agree and had been trying for a long time to tell my previous psychiatrist that I didn’t relate with my bp diagnosis but she never really listened to me.

MDD with mixed feature is a relatively new distinction. Therefore there isn’t a lot of information about it. I’m curious if someones else has that diagnosis and would share their experience with me? 

The new psychiatrist has been taking my depressive symptoms much more seriously, and I’m now on antidepressant and mood stabilizer (luvox and latuda).
