Speak w/professional: I hesitate to giving information you can simply look up on the internet in the hopes of convincing you that an examination or session with a medical expert would be much more fruitful for you. Diagnosing mood disorders is not just recognizing a list of symptoms but it is the synthesis of a lot more information not found in these lists that allows a specialist to draw the conclusion. Cheers!
