Also, BP exists on a spectrum. Not everyone who gets hypomania becomes hypersexual or does crazy sh *t. You only need to meet 4 of the 7 DSM-V criteria for hypomania in order to be Dx'ed with BP II. Also, hypomania doesn't have to last at least 4 days. The DSM-V says hypomania can last 2 days even. It's written in the section for BP NOS if you're curious about it. (It talks about exceptions and all that jazz.) A PDF of the DSM-V can be found here: http://psy-gradaran.narod.ru/lib/clinical/DSM5.pdf Check out the NOS section, page 148

That was exactly my thinking. Oh well, as I said before, I'll discuss my concern with him at my next appointment. In the interim I have scheduled an appointment with another psychiatrist for a second opinion, but that appointment isn't until September!
