Thomas, please see my post above under Greg's thread.
I agree with Sunnely about li not being a diagnostic tool. It can help non-bipolar people too, although some researchers seem to be of the mind that some depressions are in the biploar family even without hypomania or mania. Still, I think it is less useful as a diagnostic tool than as a treatment for your actual symptoms. It can help to boost the effect of your AD, can have AD effects of its own, can stabilize moodiness, etc.
