I have now been diagnosed twice with a "mood disorder". What the heck does that mean? It feels like they know I have more than depression but that they don't think I am bipolar so they don't know what to call it? I am also starting seroquel today on top of my lithium. Anyone have experience with that?

Hi, lostone44 - I have never been on seroquel so I can't comment on that, but I think we are in the same boat as far as the diagnosis.
Hi Deb,
So yea they don't want to diagnose me with bipolar b/c I dont have any serious manic episodes (on the high side) unless I take depression medication, those through me into one (bad decisions, partying, etc). But I have serious depression and on top of that mood that swings pretty quickly. But even during the times I "look" or "seem" happy I'm hurting inside.
Oh well, life (if that's what I can call it) moves on.
