There seems to be different branches of thought on the subject. Some doctors think that if an antidepressant produces mania/hypomania then you are definately bipolar. Others think that it may need to fit into a different categry.
Some doctors think that mania produced by antidepressants means nothing at all.
For instance. Dr. Manjii (who does extensive work into bipolar disorder and the mechanisms of mood stabalization) said something along the lines of "Given the right circumstances, it seems that almost anyone can have a manic episode"
