I'm in that state right now...because I'm on the right meds. But I mentioned going off my meds to my hubby and he reminded me about how I am without them and it brought me back to reality.

As far as the pdoc KNOWING you're bipolar, he/she doesn't really know. Diagnosing MH conditions is all about matching symptoms and educated guesses. Since there's no physical test that can be done, they don't really KNOW, but we are Dx'd with the closest thing that fits. Hell, one more match and I'd have Borderline, not Bipolar.
