Bipolar Disorder may suit a lot of people, but I feel for me "BI-polar" is very deceptive. It seems to me that there are just too many poles, multipolar, and too many in-between states and mixtures. For me, what I experience just isn't a binary I'm either this or that.

Like Hamster I feel as though "manic depression" was good enough.


I hope that one day we'll know about the roots of the disorder enough to give it an accurate name based on the underlying mechanics. That may just not even be possible, though.
