About a year ago, after the birth of my daughter, I saw a psychiatrist who asked if I cry often, if I am happy sometimes and sad others. I answered yes to her questions and she stuck me with a bipolar diagnosis. I’ve seen a new psych and she did not agree with the diagnosis and reversed the diagnosis. However, I have a formal hearing with the PEB (they deem me unfit for duty.) how can I prove to them I am not bipolar? (I have been medically cleared civilian side, take no meds or therapy)

I would seek several opinions that say you are not bipolar to submit. Holding feelings in is more dangerous then letting them out. If they insist accuse them if sexism, cultural insensitivity and gender bias.
