Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Bipolar diagnosis: is relatively common today. Please see a mental health professional for diagnosis and do not self-diagnose. There are other possibilities. A clinical psychologist can do psychological assessment in addition to a clinical interview (talking) that a psychiatrist will do. Peace and good health.
