PS remember that the meds you are taking are in the class of mood stabilizers. That is precisely what they are intended to do--stabilize peaks and valleys, whether the peaks are true mania or simply agitation and irritability--regardless of the reason. So if the in-laws need a quick note in the meantime, you could say its a mood stabilizer to just even things out for now, it does not necessarily imply a specific diagnosis.
But as another poster just said--this subject is truly between you and your doc.
