Well I like many here, unfortunately after a complete meltdown, was diagnosed Bipolar NOS, with severe Depression, and anxiety. The VA however gave me Adjustment Disorder with depressed mood and mixed anxiety. Why would the VA use this diagnosis rather than Bipolar, which has since been diagnosed by a handful of PHD types?
