>I also know of someone who was mistakenly dx'd as "Bipolar II" (which I personally believe is not a real diagnosis) and went through a year of different mood stabilizers.
I'm curious. If BP II is not a real diagnosis, what dx would you give a person like me who cycles between hypomanic, normal, and depressive mood states without medication, is pushed into full-blown mania when treated with AD mono-therapy, but who responds favorably to a mood stabilizer? I (and others) call it BP II.
