@vball91. A psychiatrist once told me that there is a reason it can take 5 years to diagnose Bipolar Disorder I or II. It is a very complicated process and the doctor has to track your moods, activities, and symptoms with you over time. When someone says that they were diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in a 10 minute conversation with a doctor or therapist I'm suspicious that the diagnosis isn't accurate after what my psychiatrist friend told me. Since the medication for Bipolar I and II are different from each other as well as for depression it's really important to get an accurate diagnosis and work with your doctor.

That's a long way of saying that yes, talk with your psychiatrist about all of this. I hope that they can help you figure our what's best for you and for your quality of life.
