That's an interesting thought. I am wondering about my own diagnosis of depression. My symptoms really are mostly depression and that is what I complain about the most, along with anxiety as a close second.
They changed my medicine and added Abilify, which is an antipsychotic. I know in low doses it's been shown to help with depression AND bipolar, and the fact that I feel a radical difference as of right now, may be in part because of my diagnosis is wrong. I may be in the same boat as you -- who knows?
I do think it's very interesting how mental illness is almost on a continuum -- where the "shades of gray" are everywhere between illnesses. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad your medicine is helping you!
