Do you think GAD is a useful diagnosis together with BP?
Do you think a high comorbidity is problematic? Can such problems be treated in isolation? Are some BP-comorbid disorders treatable without treating the BP first? Are there differences between a "pure" anxiety or neurodevelopmental disorder and one together with BP (or SZ)?
I don't know what warrants a separate diagnosis, if anything.
I had OCD, for example, but it was caused by hallucinations. Treating those left me with OCD, but it wasn't very self-sustaining and didn't take much effort to overcome. Should that have been diagnosed? I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder NOS, but it was based on delusions. Same question.

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
