Dear Lybrate-user, It is possible that you may have bipolar depression type 2. Bipolars 2 need not have a manic episode. Unipolar depression does not go on for 15 years. There are other diagnostic features that your psychiatrist must have elicited. Just follow your psychiatrist's advice.

It is possible to have the same. Also it is a challenge in treating the disorder. Find an astute psychiatrist who will be able to keep your mood in euthymic (normal) levels. All the best.
