I'm fifteen years old, and ever since I was little I've had symptoms of bipolar disorder. If I don't take my pills my mood will change constantly; I'll be crying, then laughing, then be angry. I won't sleep at all. I KNOW I'm bipolar. I've researched it. I match almost all the symptoms. But no one will diagnose me with it because I'm fifteen and 'too young.'

And it makes me mad. I'm on medication that would help me if I were bipolar, it's a mood stabilizer, and it does help, but at the same time I feel like I could feel even better if my psychiatrist would diagnose me. I've heard of kids younger than me being diagnosed with bipolar, so it just frustrates me. Is it really so impossible for them to diagnose me?
