Hi:
Sorry to jump in your 'thanks'-reply to someone else's response on your query. However, as having read your second-round post on this, ... frankly, I feel that you might have Bipolar I or Shizo-Affective Bipolar(I believe the name for, ... but I'm not quite sure ....), because your description sound like Bp I with shizo. affective category or Shizophrenia-related.
Mine is Bipolar II that is mostly depressive episodes with hypomanic. Either cases, Bipolar is said to be 'one of severe mental illnesses' next to shizo. Then, sometime even an experienced pdoc. misdiagnoses 'Shizo.' for 'Bipolar I with shizo. affective.' Thus, your pdoc. has not yet decided/announced on which one you have.For this/proper dx confusion above, I believe that working with your pdoc. is the best tool/way for you to discover your 'real' problem which you've been encountered.
In my case, with appropriate med. combo. I've been stabilized quite well. Then, a good med. combo. is very crucial to get well/on recovery.
