ingalot - I'm not any expert. I'ld just like to say that I don't think there always is such a thing as being able to "know for sure." Not for you . . . and not for the pdocs. They are still kicking it around in my case - and have been for years.

In the case of uncertainly, what they tend to do - I've found - is try you on some mood stabilizing drugs and see if you improve. They might try Lamictal, or Lithium, or other things.

I hope you and the pdocs can get some kind of a handle on the source of the problem. It's not fun to be have emotions "all over the place." That's kind of how I get. Remember - you can have more than one diagnosis.
