> - ScottThanks for the above info, Scott. I'm still confused, though (as my pdocs were too, lol!). My depression is and has always been characterized by severe depressive episodes, irritability, anxiety, poor impulse control and lethargy. While ADs never made me manic, Gabapentin did (and it made me more than hypomanic--pure mania as I understand it).
While the DSM can be a helpful tool (probably in the most elementary sense), it seems a bit archaic and too static in trying to define and categorize illnesses that are so dynamic and individual-dependent. If that makes sense ;).
