Yeah, I know. All I'm saying is that you can't conclude that someone is bipolar because they became hypomanic on ADs. ADs can trigger a *first* manic episode, and if all ADs tried do this, you'll need a mood stabiliser. But I've only become hypomanic on one or two ADs, and never spontaneously, so most docs I've talked to have felt that I probably am not bipolar. (No family history of mania, either.)
