The DSM 5 now qualifies your condition as being bipolar.

William Potter at the NIH diagnosed me as being bipolar in 1992. Prior to this, I had been described as being unipolar with antidepressant-induced mania.

MAOIs sometimes make me manic unless I am taking something as a prophylactic. It seems that Abilify prevents mania for me.
