interesting that you bring up Kraeplin, i did research on him after i got the dx of BP2. i couldn't seem to find anything that really fit what i was feeling. he identified something as aggitated depression. i liked that description. other T's and pdocs tried to tell me that was a type of manic behavior, but my current pdoc has me down as psychotic depression with bouts of hypmania...which i MUCH more agree with. this seems to fit me better.
i think the whole deal of spectrum use needs to be a bit careful cuz the more options at times are good but other times gives the docs more wiggle room to pigeon hole ya.
so if something doesn't sit right in your gut...keep at it. i did. and i'm glad i did. it'll hopefully keep me off some of those meds that made me batty, all because the docs "were sure they'd work because i was bp2", and maybe i am, but they didn't see the big picture like my pdoc now does.
