Welllllllllllll, Let's see...I think my problems with sleep started with the birth of my first child...I think I have had the symptoms that led to 'chronic clinical depression' dx then 'bipolar two' dx long before i was dx'd. Things 'got worse with age' So, I would say, that my answer to your question is: yes.
It is also my understanding the dx of bipolar two, depression, etc, is 'here are ten major symptoms, if you hit more than six you probably, might be, could be, are (insert confusing sounding medical term) ta ta... > if you have some of the symptoms on this list AND this or that, then you are dx'd as THIS...
Now, I am curious, why are you asking this question?
