Around this time last year I started feeling extremely depressed so I went to my doctor and we talked for a bit. I said that I was feeling extremely irritable and upset. She then asked me if I felt that way all the time. I had been feeling that way for a while (about 3 or 4 months) so I said yes. I was perscribed medication and I eventually began to feel a lot better until now. I now feel as if I'm becoming depressed again. Is it possible that I'm bipolar and not suffering from depression? And can people who are bipolar be treated with the same medication as those who are depressed?
