Saw my therapist today. He's convinced that I just have recurring uni-polar depression and not any form of Bipolar.

I explained the impulsivity, sex, binging, spending, irrational decisions, inability to concentrate. I think I explained that I had a huge 'episode' of these behaviors 2 years ago, just a few weeks after I started anti-depresants for the first time.

I don't get some of the 'classic' bipolar symptoms. I have never been really 'high' or 'elated' or 'fast'. I just get really irritable and angry and can't make decisions well. I act out.

My moods change fast, within the day, not weeks or months at a time.

Pdoc (actually a psych nurse) wants me on Lamictal in addition to my Zoloft. We are working on getting insurance approval on my Lamictal.

What should I do? I did ask my therapist to talk to the psych nurse and work together on this. But who's "right"? And does it matter? Would the Lamictal hurt if I'm not Bipolar II?

I strongly think that I'm either Bipolar II or Borderline. But I'm not entirely sure. I don't know what to believe.
