hi i am new to md and saw your post. i was dignosed with bipolor when i was in high school and if you think that you are bipolor you should deffintly talk to your pcp. one way you can tell you are bipolor is if you constily have "mood swings" i can go 2 weeks feeling on top of the world and able to care for my children and have fun and then one morning i will wake up wanting nothing to do with anything or one this feeling can last for days or weeks i call it a roller coster effect. your going up the hill feeling scared and changing your mind wishing you never went on it then you come to the top and get a gust of wind in your hair and in a blink of the eye the ride is over and you are happy that you tryed it. talk to your pcp hun in many cases if you think you are then you maybe and let me tell you its a battle and a half but with the correct meds you be on top of the world while you are grounded.
i have or think i have bipolar disorder when should i contact my doctor?
