Yeah my aunt is a psychiatrist and a very good one at that! She's not MY pdoc although she prescribed me meds once when I was going through an intense depressive stage. I think she just thinks that because I haven't been "officially" diagnosed I should just say I have a mood disorder rather than BP. I think I prefer BP - it's more concrete and encapsulates my symptoms a lot more than the broad mood disorder... Thanks everyone for clearing up what exactly "mood disorder" means!
