Symptoms Of Bipolar Disorder

I looked at the symptoms of bipolar disorder, and some of them really seemed to check out. I really was in an excited state, and all my friends had commented that it wasn’t normal. I wasn’t really familiar with psychiatric illness at the time, so it was pretty hard for me to imagine that I was a manic depressive. Nonetheless, the evidence was there. When I went into a psychiatrist to see find out do I have bipolar disorder, he broke it down for me. The issue, he said, wasn’t so much whether or not I am bipolar, but how well I was functioning. If I had bipolar disorder but was doing alright, it didn’t matter.
