Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Possible bipolar and: feeling alone. You need to play detective and track down some help. Is there a clergy person you can talk to? Do a search under mental health clinics in your area. Call them or go to them. See a doctor and tell him/her you are w/out funds before you get there. Aunt, Uncle, neighbor around to speak with? Peace and good health. Call state psychological association and tell them.

Bipolar: Bipolar I and bipolar II, In the first, manic phases are more severe, and in the second, depressive phases are more severe. There is also cyclothymia which is a low grade version of bipolar disorder in general, where mood swings are not as severe in either direction, manic or depressive. A psychiatrist will look for extreme swings of mood as part of formulating a diagnosis as opposed to testing.
