I haven't been posting because I was hospitalized once more. This time for cyclical mood swings. I could go from happy to sad to mad and to flat. (an apathetic state) They finally diagnosed me as having Bipolar Disorder NOS and put me on Lithium. (450 mg twice a day of the extended release form) This however, is not just the opinion of just the ARPN or my clinician at the hospital. I also re-encountered Jack McClellen, who diagnosed me as having Schizophreniform Disorder during my first hospitalization. He agrees with the Bipolar label, but will call it Schizoaffective Disorder, which he says means I have a mood disorder (Bipolar Disorder) and psychotic symptoms.

For now, the Lithium is working. Now the only thing to determine is whether this is I or II. Probably II. Rapid cycling Bipolar II Disorder? Perhaps.
