hello  I do not have a family doctor or a doctor at all right now. Was wondering can any doctor tell if you are bipolar or do you need to see a psychologist? I think I may be bipolar, but not really sure. I am depressed and get very agitated, aggravated, irritated, mad easily, I become verbally mean sometimes, I can try to calm down or tell myself to shut up and calm down but I dont. Sometimes I have no reason to act the way I do. I just dont know what to do
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. It would be better if you could meet a psychologist as the symptoms that you have mentioned can occur in many psychiatric illnesses and to diagnose you as bipolar it's not a cross-sectional data, but it's your longitudinal course of your symptoms that should matter. Do meet a psychologist or a psychiatrist who would like to evaluate in detail. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below-mentioned link
