what is bipolar depressive type? is that a seperate type of bipolar or is that what a doctor calls a depressed episode? . i was released from a psychiatric hospital and in my discharge papers the doctor had written "bipolar depressive type". i had never heard of that before. i was wondering if a depressive type of bipolar actually exists and what that is? is it a subtype of bipolar or did he maybe just not know what to diagnose me as? . thank you!
