Can you consider me bipolar disorder?

See below: To diagnose someone with bipolar disorder, the person should undergo a thorough evaluation, past history, behaviors, etc. The evaluation is usually done face to face. It's impossible to say whether you have bipolar or not with the info presented. Take care.

I wouldn't: automatically consider a person to have a psychiatric disorder. A comprehensive psychiatric/ psychological evaluation is required to make an accurate assessment.
