No, history of a depressive episode is NOT required for initial diagnosis of BP1.

Bro...the most insane and radical people have been diagnosed mentally ill.And they've also been the leaders and innovators of our world. and will be tomorrow also.most mentally ill people turn out to be geniuses...cause they go crazy in a world full of ignorant stupid people...so yeah you lose it.Failers and ill choose to be.I choose not too.

I'm bipolar 1-high axis rating1. No drugs2. No drinking3. No smoking4. Not a nympho5. Not violent 6. Not suicidal 7. I'm from the north, my adoptive family are all doctors, and military, I'm a former national taekwondo athlete, current pre-med student.guess that #7 is mania.Married young, wife overseas, torn right acl in knee, surgery soon with nasty painful rehab to follow, doing immigration process without lawyer...all at once. it's just how I am.Bipolar is garbage.

I have been bipolar for 16 years and find it hard for people to understand etc. I have a full time job etc which keeps my mind occupied through out the day but i tell you i have my moments dealing with the bipolar etc. The medication i take helps me to sleep but i do not like the side affects etc . I went high last september and the doctor wants to put me on depakote sodium valporate? I am a new user to you tube and the comments made have helped alot thanks Lee.
