Hi Marisol, welcome to the forums! Your post was well thought out and I agree with it whole-heartedly!

I read an article awhile back that more and more Mental Health care professionals are dx'ing Bipolar as a catch-all when thay are having trouble coming up with a diagnosis for their patients. This is because Bipolar has such a broad range of symptoms that can fit into more than one type of depression. For instance, mania, while a staple of Bipolar, is also a symptom of Manic Depression and Borderline Personality Disorder. I wish I had saved this article, it was very interesting to say the least.

I look forward to hearing more from you on this subject, and to getting to know you better. This is a great place with truly wonderful people!

I'm glad you found us!

Greg
