cyclothymia and BP II aren't too much different so at least the doc wasn't really far off. Not sure if your T and pdoc work together or communicate but perhaps you could ask T to call and speak with you pdoc, especially if the next time you see the doc he doesn't agree with the diagnosis. Ts typically always spend more time with patients than docs do so it's not surprising that your T may have a better idea of what's going on. If they continue to not see eye-to-eye on the diagnosis, i would ask them to talk to each other. Even if they don't work in the same office or what-not your T could send a letter to the doc or call and leave a message for him to call back. My T has called my pdoc several times in the past even though they don't work in the same office. Just an idea..
