THANKS CANDACE!!!!!

>I AM HORRIBLE WITH KEEPING MOOD JOURNALS (I LOSE THEM OR FORGET TO LOG MY MOOD- THINK THAT MAY BE THE ADHD-LOL) MY PDOC DOESNT TALK ABOUT DIAGNOSIS WITH ME AS MUCH AS TREATMENT- NOT SURE WHY (MAYBE DUE TO THE FACT THAT "IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT THE DIAGNOSIS IS AS LONG AS MEDS WORK") I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OTHERS THINK REGARDING MIXED EPISODE FOR MY OWN REASONS (I HAVE A CHILD ON THE PDD SPECTRUM).....IF THIS WAS A MIXED EPISODE THEN THAT WOULD ACTUALLY CHANGE DIAGNOSIS TO BIPOLAR RIGHT? RIGHT NOW THE DIAGNOSIS IS ADHD, MOOD DISORDER NOS, AND ANXIETY... NOT SURE IF A MIXED EPISODE IS ACCOUNTED FOR WITH MOOD DISORDER NOS OR NOT?
I WILL BE SURE TO KEEP YOU UPDATED!
AGAIN, THANKS! (BTW- CAPS ARE JUST SO IT'S EASIER TO READ- HOPE ITS OK)
