If the meds are working, stay on them and let your pdoc treat any symptoms that crop up. The diagnosis (The name) is not really the important thing. Even with some of us that are dx'd bipolar, the way the symptoms present can be very different. I know pdoc's are weary to dx teens, as there are a lot of hormones that can also affect moods, and on the whole the teen years are considered rather treacherous. I hope you are on meds that can make you function well. This is really the main reason for taking meds, regardless of the label
