After suffering from what was called MDD for years, I had an episode of extreme rage where I was very violent and had an out of body experience.

I had had a few of these episodes over the years. I was also suffering from paranoia. After asking me some questions about energy levels, excessive spending, manic behaviors, etc., my pdoc told me he thought I was suffering from bipolar 2.

He put me on 10 mg Abilify, and I felt so much better. I have not had any rage since. And moods have been stable more or less. And no paranoia. However, I doubt I ever had bipolar disorder 2.

Since Abilify worked so well, and makes me feel normal, is it likely I have something on the bipolar spectrum, or something else? I know that a diagnosis isn't important, and that what is important is that I feel better, but I'm just wonderin'.
