I'm 25. I noticed the cycling at about 17, though it started at 14, I guess. The worst period was at 20-21.

From the info that I've seen on bipolar... it really "gets into the swing" when you get to your late 20s and early 30s. Earlier than this and it can easily be mistaken for normal moods affected by outside forces.

Thia was certainly my own experience; i'm 25 and didn't figure it out until the past year.
