Question Posted Saturday June 28 2008, 11:25 am

Hi,

You recently answered a mental health question for me. If you would like to see it again, you can click here : [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I wanted to thank you for your advice and also ask you a question. You mentioned bipolar disorder in your answer, and although I was thinking about that even before you answered me, there is something missing. Although I don't always feel so upset, I don't get the elated and "on top of the world" feelings that bipolar people describe. When I don't feel so upset, I feel normal, not so upset but not elated either. Could this still be bipolar or something else? I was looking up dysthymia and cylothymia. Could it be one of those?

Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.

Hannah

The only person who can really diagnose you is a psychiatrist. You don't necessarily have to be delusional or elated than super sad to be bipolar. You might just have the severe fluctuating moods and excessive energy or hypomanic symptoms.

You might have the illness you mentioned or a combination of 1 or 2. You definitely need to make that emergency room visit to have yourself fully checked out. The things you have mentioned seems to suggest you could be headed for real problems otherwise.
