It is important to get a professional opinion for a number of reasons. Especially if you're thinking of taking antidepressants. In people with bipolar disorder, taking antidepressants without other drugs to stabilize your mood can trigger manic episodes, which can be really dangerous. Talk to your doctor about your concerns. If you don't have the disorder, at least you wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. If you do, you can start effective treatments to get a better handle on your symptoms, which is the first step to living well.
