Go for a psyciatric: Evaluation. They will take a full history and diagnose your condition. If they believe you have mani depression, they will suggest the proper medication and see how it impacts on you. They will know if the diagnosis is correct and suggest what other therapy to consider. It can take a toll on all your relationships and work if untreated. Go ahead and get an evaluation asap. Let us know how it goes.
