Depressed, Agitated, Aggravated, Irritated, Verbally Mean Sometimes. Bipolar?
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 don't. Sometimes I have no reason to act the way I do. I just don't know what to do

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic 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 illness and to diagnose you as bipolar its not a cross sectional data, but its your longitudinal course of your symtoms that should matter. Do meet a psychologist or a psyciatrist 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.
