DO I HAVE BIPOLAR? Do I Have Bipolar? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness Do I Have Bipolar? Do I Have Bipolar? DO I HAVE BIPOLAR? Do I Have Bipolar? Question: My doctor diagnosed me as bipolar about three years ago, which I have trouble believing.  I had suffered for years with depression and sometimes with psychotic features.  At the time I was diagnosed as bipolar I must admit I slept little, had loads of energy, spent a LOT of money that I couldn’t spare, and I felt an incredible sense of well-being and happiness.  I seemed to go non stop.  I told my doctor it felt like I was in the Indianapolis 500.  It lasted about eight months.I have not felt that way in over 2 ½ years.  My depression comes back, with the psychotic features but I haven’t felt “manic” again.  Does that positively sound like Bipolar to you?Thank you for your help. Dr. Heller’s Answer: It definitely sounds like bipolar.  While it’s possible you have other diagnoses, what you describe is very consistent with bipolar.The official criteria for a mania episode can be found at:http://pks.947.myftpupload.com/ManiaDSM.htmThe official criteria for bipolar I can be found at:http://pks.947.myftpupload.com/Bipolar1.htm Do I Have Bipolar? 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Ask the Doctor Home Do I Have Bipolar?
