A member asked:
Is there a diagnosis for when you have months of severe depression then months of good mood (not manic) then months of suicidal depression again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depression : Yes, there is a diagnosis. It is always best to have a complete physical exam first to rule out any physical illness contributing to the depression. Then it would be good to consult with a Clinical Psychologist for a diagnosis and psychotherapy treatment. Medication can also be important to help.
