I really appreciate the follow up's to my question, and realize I am groping here. I disagree, though with the two John's. They make it sound as if the desire for a definition, or "label" is really unnecessary. I know that it is one "expert's" opinion over another's but it does give a starting place as John L. pointed out and that can be invaluable in the road to recovery. I have no idea what the first John is suggesting re: no meds - this is supposedly a chemical imbalance and no meds seems dangerous to me. At the same time, though, I'm being placed on many different things, with no specific diagnosis and it's frustrating. Of course, it will be ideal when there are physical tests for mental illnesses but who knows when that that will be. I just wanted some Bipolars' opinions. Thanks.
