A member asked:

How do i ask my doctor if i have bipolar depression?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Just ask: Just be upfront and ask him/her. We are not here to judge you. Be honest and let them know the symptoms you are having. Some doctors may refer you to a psychiatrist, if they do not have the expertise in that area.
