Q: severe anxiety and ocd. if ssris helped with your depression but not anxiety 3 years back but now after 2 days cause increased energy, terrible insomnia and a decreased need for sleep following extreme anxiety /panic does this always mean bipolar?

: It is not definite that it means Bipolar but that would be something that needs to be considered. Would be best to be seen by a Psychiatrist to evaluate all the nuanses of your symptoms and history as well as treatment you have had to determine the appropriate medication at this time.
