Nella,
I wanted to alert you to a particular part of this website:
http://www.psycheducation.org/depression/02_diagnosis.html#softHere's the list of items which are found with bipolar disorder more often than you would expect by chance alone.
The first episode of major depression occurred before age 25 (some experts say before age 20, a few before age 18; most likely, the younger you were at the first episode, the more it is that bipolar disorder, not "unipolar", was the basis for that episode).
