Call it bipolar 3-c or whatever you want. I liked that. We all experience things differently and are sometimes hard to fit in a particular DSM diagnosis. Of course, you need to pick a DSM category for the insurance companies.
I don't think it is correct to assume that, if Ads make you agitated, you are bipolar. It may just be that a reduction in depressive symptoms uncovers underlying problems, like anger or suicidality.
