With Bipolar ... depression is still a HUGE part of it.. so really, in a sense, not a wrong diagnosis... if its Bipolar... then you just have more to contend with ...

Bipolar diagnosis, is much harder to come by, for pdocs etc... but IF that, is indeed what the outcome is or will be for you DH, then, unfortunately , more meds will be needed... mood stabilzers etc... and finding good med mix is harder too.
then you get them on the meds things improve ... and BAM.. they stop taking their meds! just BS and hard to deal with ...

My ex used to stop or be flippant with is meds after winter (depression time) because he wanted to feel UP!

sorry im sounding so negative .. but its reality ...
