Bipolar is the new "fad" diagnosis tacked onto lots more people now. Right about anxiety and depression or affective instability now being labeled as Bipolar. Also many people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder have been "rediagnosed" ad Bipolar. I saw a consultant who thought I might be Bipolar, and I told him he was full of crap, that if that was the case, then how come they missed it at Menninger's when I was a in-patient there for almost three years. He got really pissy with me, but the guy was developing dementia anyway and answering personal phone calls with me in the office. My current psychiatrist agrees that I am definitely not Bipolar, that I have a Major Depressive Disorder, Recurrent, Severe Without Psychotic Features. So wonderful--NOT.
