Do you feel that the treatment you're on (whether medications and/or therapy and/or self-help) is helping you enough? If not, then I would try to revisit the issue with your pdoc. It sounds like you have lots of perfectly legitimate concerns --I know people always suggest this, but a mood diary might help to bring into pdoc and also documenting the other experiences you have (hallucinations, etc.).
Of course not everyone neatly fits into a diagnosis and I think sometimes pdocs, because of this, sometimes aren't sure themselves and live with the uncertainty because they know we're all different and how difficult it is to make complex diagnoses. It sounds like you guys aren't on the same page, so hopefully communication will improve and some things will become clearer. But, as I say, treatment is the most important thing, at the end of the day, if it's helping, to what extent, what changes may need to be made, etc. Best of luck.
