i know there is a questionaire but how would a doctor really be able to determine it other than talking to you and the questionaire?

thanks

My doctor mentioned that he thinks theres a chance I have type 2 bipolar. Are there other disorders with similar symptoms that I can research as well?

both also have previously had psychotic episodes.

is it hard to diagnose bipolar?

If you forget you take your medications for just one day, will you be able to feel the effects, like feel manic or depressed?

I have to do a power point about manic depression for both my science and health class, and I’m not going to be anywhere near a computer for the next week and everything is due on next Sunday. If you think this sounds kind of hurried, then, yeah, it pretty much is.

But, I was wondering if anyone new a website or information about the long and short term effects of this disease. If you’re giving me information from a website, the website would be most helpful. If you dont know where you got the information from, I’m sure I can fudge something up.

I always think the worse.
Like, example, I will be in the car, leaning against the door and I will have a image of the door opening, and me falling out, cracking my head open.
I will see kids messing “horse playing” and get a image of one of them getting really hurt.
I always “fast forward” to tragedies.

I also have 1-3 dreams a week were I get choked. Or a burglary happens. Or I drown. Some sort of tragedies.
