I personally think that bipolar is overblown. Some doctors are lumping all of the symtpoms that were once classified as depression into that of bipolar.

Anxiety -> Bipolar
Agitation -> Bipolar
Anger -> Bipolar

So I don't really know what depression is classified as anymore.

I think it boils down to this. It seems that everybody reacts to antidepressants differently, but putting somebody on a mood stabalizer produces a more predictable outcome. I think that bipolar is a "safer" diagnosis for the doctor to make, albeit much more burdonsome for the patient.
