In my opinion any pdoc that treats a Bipolar patient (thank God for the differential DX) with an AD, without first stabilizing the patients mood, should be subject to charges for mal-practice.

I agree 100%. But I disagree with doctors who label a depressed patient not responding to an antidepressant as bipolar II. I think Ross mentioned he has never had mania and only has experienced depression and anxiety. Now if a patient has had episodes of hypomania or dysphoric mania or rapid cyclicing, treat with a mood stalizer. Even still, most individual with bipolar ended up needing an antidepressant in the long run.
Sorry to hear you went through such an ordeal.
