Well, technically I can be diagnosed Bipolar III I think, but maybe it was his "working diagnosis" or something, and since I got better with a mood stabilizer it is enough proof for him. I don't know. I and the people who know me are unsure of the Bipolar diagnosis. I did get a second opinion, thinking it would be something else, but he said he wouldn't disagree with the diagnosis, but maybe the way I was being medicated. I'm still wanting to get another opinion, but I'm not under my own insurance so I'm not totally in charge of my care. There's a lot of stalling for different reasons and I'm not always up to fighting to get certain things to happen. Anyway, I know you're right, but I am not sure what I can do about it. Not sure different meds would be good.
