I agree. And I think it might depend on the pdoc you have as well. Some might see mixed, others hypomanic or depressed, especially depressed, depending on when you go in. I don't know if I am the only one, but I tend to complain about symptoms more to the pdoc if I'm depressed or if I have a med side effect I don't like. Hypomania tends to feel good, so for me, it equals less symptom issues to tell the pdoc about.
