Accepted Answer

Hello, : Hello, bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder can have a number of common features. It is often difficult for psychiatrists to differentiate between the two. I recommend that you dont' try to self- label. If you are cutting yourself, you feel depressed, have marked mood swings and feel like you have more than one identity, it is really important that you are getting professional help. Your psychaitrist or psychologist can provide you with information about your diagnosis after a comprehensive assessment is completed. Take care.

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. I can't make a diagnosis via this format. Your moods could be related to an affective disorder like major depression, but also may have some traits seen with borderline personality disorder.  Please get help. Currently, we have the best medications ever available to treat these conditions.  You sound lonely. Please get help with a therapist.  I know that it probably seems hard to believe that things can improve, but honestly they can.  I think dying sounds alright to you now, because you are in so much pain. When  you are feeling better, suicide probably won't seem like an attractive option. Plese let your family know about your cutting and your suicidal thoughts. If you have active thoughts to kill yourself now, the please call 911 or have your family take you to the er. Please give treatment a chance. Take care.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Maybe.: It depends how high the highs are, and how low the lows. Mood swings to some degree are normal, especially for teenagers. Discuss this with doctor prescribing your meds..

Question 9

i am diagnosis with bipolar disorder and taking quetiapine from past 2 years and i would like to know why i m so angry, irritated cant handle myself ?

Accepted Answer

Referral: There are no biological markers used for the diagnosis of bipolar disorder or the other psychiatric disorders &amp; the diagnoses are subjective. And Quetiapine, like the other psychiatric drugs, has a myriad of possible dangerous side effects. Among the possible side effects are changes in your mood &amp; thoughts of suicide. I therefore suggest you see a Naturopathic physician as soon as possible.

Question 10

does it sound like i'm suffering from bipolar disorder (manic depression)? i often have sudden, and random shifts in my mood. sometimes i'm fine, sometimes i'm absolutely irritable and just angry at the world. then there are times that i am so ridiculousl

Accepted Answer

Hello, : Hello, dr. Kardener made good points. I don't know if you have bipolar disorder. Your symptoms could be consistent with bipolar disorder but borderline personality disorder or unipolar agitated depression can present similarly. The recommendation for a mood stabilizer is spot on. I agree with a referral to a psychiatrist if you are not already seeing one. Unless you see a psychiatrist who also does therapy; would recommend that you also work with a therapist. With the right treatment, would anticipate that you will start seeing improvment. If you are seriously contemplating suicide please get help right away.  Having a plan or urges to follow through on it should definately prompt immediate care. Take care and don't give up hope.
