What Is The Treatment For Extreme Depression?

I'm not sure if I'm depressed or not. Sometimes, it doesn't even feel like I am depressed at all. I have days where I'm absurdly happy, I love life, love my friends, love my family, etc. etc. The next day, I hate my friends, I have no enthusiasm for anything, I find myself constantly ranting or complaining, holding a grudge against myself, sometimes others, though they do not deserve it. I have little to no motivation, whether I be happy or sad. I'm told by my parents I'm depressed, my friends have even mentioned I should go seek professional help. Even though it seems everyone cares, I often feel like I'm alone. I find myself seeking attention, even when I don't seem to want any attention. I'm extremely confused as to my state of mind. I thought maybe I was bipolar, but I'm not so sure. My emotions are best described as a rollercoaster, up, down, up, down, loopety loop, just to mess with my head... What is happening to me? Does anyone know?

I went through your details. You know the symptoms of depression and bi-polar and therefore you are inclined towards those. But we think differently. Let me be clear. First of all I would like to know your age and what you are doing now. High and low moods, mood swings etc are part of life and they happen because so many aspects of life. You mentioned something about lack of motivation. Who is supposed to provide you motivation? Will you be able to accept motivation provided by others? If you have to accept, you should be ready. if you are ready, self motivation will also work. Please understand. You can talk to a psychologist and get two or three counseling sessions. You will learn how to be self motivated.
