well, I had my first appt. yesterday. The pdoc said it was difficult to make a dx as I was neither up nor down! (Feel like the Grand Old Duke of York!)

But from our consultation, feels I'm probably Hypomanic. I've been advised to cut out the alcohol and start keeping a mood diary.

I do drink far too much (especially when I'm 'up') so good advice.

Still taking the information in - and doing lots of reading on hypomanic states and treatments. She suggested a possible anti-psychotic drug to help stabilise moods (once the alcohol factor is removed) and a more accurate dx can be made. Can't remember the name of the one she mentioned.

on my way 'up' at the moment so finding it difficult to concentrate too.
