Psychiatry is such an inexact science. It mostly boils down to treating and managing your symptoms. It's common for ones Dx it to chance several times throughout their lifetime, since different doctors see you differently. It's really difficult for a new Dr to get an accurate diagnosis when you are medicated. As long as your symptoms are stable, most Drs will not mess with your meds for the sake of an accurate diagnosis. My new Dr thinks I probably suffer from bipolar II, but he can't say for sure due to my current meds. However, he doesn't believe diagnosing me is worth screwing with my current meds and making me unstable in the process.
Anyway, like everyone else says, focus on your symptoms and not diagnosis. Feeling ok is all that truly matters.
