I was wondering if there is anyone who has been diagnosed with this? I've read that it's considered a mild form of bipolar, because the individual doesn't have severe enough depressive episodes to be labeled as major depressive disorder and doesn't reach high enough episodes to be labeled as mania. I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to share their symptoms?

I am trying to figure out if I might have some sort of mood disorder. I've been diagnosed with ADHD and depressive disorder NOS. I get these moods where I am literally bouncing off the walls, talking a mile a minute, can't concentrate on anything, etc. I don't know if it's an ADHD thing or not. I also go through these phases where I am intensely irritated by everyone and everything around me. But I don't know if that's an ADHD thing either. I also have some days where I am on the edge of tears all day and just feel this intense sadness. I call those days "cycling days" because I ruminate on all my bad memories. I am trying to figure out if I should get evaluated for some sort of mood disorder of if these feelings are either normal or just symptoms of ADHD. Any info is welcome!
