My boyfriend is possibly Bipolar. He's had manic episodes in his past, but for the past 2 years has only been on/off with depression & agitated depression... That still qualifies as a mood shift, in my opinion.
The label isn't the most important thing. And episodes last differently for different people -- my depressions are never longer than 2 weeks. And my hypos can last me months.
Go with your gut -- if the medicine isn't helping, see if there's maybe any lifestyle changes or therapy that can help? 25 years is too long to be on a medicine that doesn't work, dear. That's just the truth.
