asperger's v. bipolar disorder

situational-induced mania v. inherited (genetic) mania?

just one aspect of either. when one is experiencing that symptom, when one is flying, bouncing off the walls, one can't help but dwell on why it is that the "professionals" can't segregate the symptoms better than they are.

what one receives as a dx, as a diagnosis can depend totally on what one's "doctor" believes actually exists.

guess that would be like anything else, but when you are living it in the moment, it sure would be nice to know definitively once and for all.
