I think that the problem is confounded by the fact that bipolar medication can sometimes be usefull in unipolar. This can be taken two ways, either the person has bipolar, or that like I said above it is just a unipolar person responding to a bipolar drug.
There are reasons this may be true. Drugs that are capable of modulating glutamatergic function have utility in unipolar as well.
So, if a diagnosis is sketchy, I don't think that response to a bipolar drug really means anything at all.
