you are welcome. I know it can be frustrating when you don't know what your diagnosis means and the docs often don't explain it well.

I have a friend who is bipolar, she was hospitalized and diagnosed but no one there ever talked to her about it... HORRIBLE! In fact she had never heard the term "bipolar" before and the very first time she came across it was when she was discharged and saw it written on the paperwork they gave her! She was in quite a panic simply because she had no idea what it meant, how serious it was, etc and it just sounded really scary to her. (not that bipolar can't be scary but can you imagine being labeled by a doctor and having no idea what it means?)

this was an extreme case but most people i think get a simple explanation from the doctor and then find a lot of more complicated stuff on their "chart". Not everyone cares about that but it would be nice if they offered a better explanation. I still don't get all the "axis" stuff
