I don't think it is always black & white and not even always a spectrum within a disorder.
I agree that it is helpful to have the classical definitions. I also think that they should be expanded, that criteria should be re-evaluated, and it should be acknowledged that everyone may not "fit".
My dr says I most "closely" fit bipolar II. If I go to another dr they may give me another diagnosis.
Every case is so individual, and can be paradoxical. A pure bipolar may actually respond well to antidepressants and negatively to stabilizers. But on the otherhand, it was helpful that it was found that antidepressants often can induce or make cycling worse.
