I'm wondering if i go manic on anti-depressants am i bipolar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely: Taking the antidepressant did not cause you to be bipolar but it may have activated a predisposition that was already there. If you have suffered from one or more major depressive episodes and have had an episode of mania that is diagnostic of bipolar disorder.
