Should I ask my doctor for a bipolar test?
Bipolar disorder (also called manic depression) is a mental disorder of unusual shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. Symptoms are usually intense and differ from the normal ups and downs of life.
If you have bipolar, you likely experience emotional states stronger than usual. These can last during specific periods, called “mood episodes.” When the episodes are excited, they’re manic. When they’re depressed, they’re depressive. Sometimes, people may show parts of both moods or have a “mixed state”.
