It has become "politically-correct" where I am for the pdocs to avoid the labels and and just describe all of us as having mood disorders. The funny thing about it is that the way my pdoc talks to me now is to preface the conversation with, "I am not saying that you are bipolar, but...
Meanwhile, my clinical psych., whose main focus is testing and diagnosing, has given me a bipolar dx with ocd.
If you follow the philosophy of my pdoc, it is all about the treatment , not the dx.
