Thanks for the info Scott..though I'm personally happy taking my doctor's word for it....

And to be frank, I'd rather see overdiagnosis of bipolar than people dx'd with personality disorders--dx that may not be covered by insurance or which can affect them for the rest of their life, ie employment, stigma..as long as they get the appropriate treatment.

If the overdiagnosis of bipolar is such a problem, doctors who revise the DSM could combine the axis i and ii if they wanted to. Any mental illness should be reimbursed-whether it's temporary traits or more permenant traits. I don't blame the doctors in the hospital for sometimes giving borderlines a bipolar dx and hope they continue to do so...to enable those who need intensive help to have access to treatments they may otherwise not have.
