Hi all. I've been seeing a Psychiatrist for over 2 months now and here's where I am med-wise:

150mg Zoloft AM
30mg Cymbalta AM
0.5mg Clonazepam AM and PM
*300mg Lithium PM <------ This one just added.

The kicker is that this Psychiatrist does not diagnose, he just treats symptoms (which is fine), but for my own knowledge I'd like to know, is this treatment for Bipolar Disorder (Hypomania in my case I believe because my 'highs' weren't elations, more like restless irritability and wanting to do a bunch of stuff all at the same time, believing I could do anything that needed doing)?

My mother is Bipolar II I'm sure, and my son (10) has just recently been to the Dr. Amen Clinic where the SPECT scans showed ADHD Type 6 which indicates a mood disorder. The Psychiatrist there diagnosed him with Mood Disorder NOS, hesitating calling it Bipolar since my son isn't 16.

Anyway, I know I could outright ask my Psychiatrist but he still could return with "why does it matter" or some such remark. I'm looking for the thoughts and opinions of people who know all about Bipolar Disorder and live with and through it. Thanks so much.

Brian
