I don't think that your therapist communicating through a psychiatrist that you never met is a good basis for accurate information-- try to keep your anxiety level down until you actually meet the doctor.

I used to be diagnosed with depression, but years later, the diagnosis was changed to bipolar. The antidepressants that were once tolerable became intolerable because high doses were causing my mood to shoot up too far. My current psychiatrist sometimes puts me on an anti-depressant when I go into a depressive epsiode, but he would never put me on an anti-depressant ONLY. I always have to be taking a mood stabilizer, whether I'm on anti-depressants or not. Usually, people who have bipolar tendences should not be taking anti-depressants without a mood stabilizer.
