Specializes in Psychiatry

Psychiatrist: You would benefit from evaluation by a psychiatrist. You may prefer seeing a psychologist and having a psychological evaluation as well if you are not inclined to treat your condition with medications although the diagnosis of bipolar disorder typically requires a medication.
