Hello again Yorkie, What they are looking at is Manic or Hyomanic Mixed States and Depressive Mixed States. ie two core types. What is said in the draft is a bit confusing and I get the impression that it still needs to be tied up. I am suposed to have Mixed States Bip. I have always had problems seeing myself a meeting all the criteria for Mixed States in DSM-IV. But now I am seeing a lot closer resemblance in the proposal. There was a very smart cookie back in nineteen thirty seven who proposed six variations of Bipolar Mixed States. I forget the poor guys name.  Giving symptoms related to either mania/hypomania is a very smart idea and sounds correct to me. In DSM-IV sufficent attention was not given to Bipolar Mixed States. It looked to me that is was just "tossed" in as an afterthought. JennyWren Found him. As long ago as 1921, Dr. Emil Kraepelin described several kinds of mixed states, including excited or agitated depression and depression with isolated manic symptoms1. In 2000, noted bipolar researcher Dr. Hagop Agiskal reported that mania with few depressive symptoms represents the most prevalent kind of mixed or dysphoric mania.2 Post edited by: jennywren, at: 02/11/2010 11:34 PM Seroquel XR, 300mgs
