That's because the diagnostic criteria for bipolar doesn't encompass all of the parts of bipolar in my opinion. There is a lot going on with us that we all see every day on this board that doctors don't consider, because it's not in some book. They treat the fever but not the underlying illness. That's what I'm learning just by all of the questions and comments that come up on here.

That's just how I see it and I believe more every day.
