@moustaphagueye, welcome. There are many different types of depression. See this Mayo Clinic article that includes bipolar:
- Understanding Depression https://careinfo.mayoclinic.org/mh-depression
- Understanding Bipolar https://mcpress.mayoclinic.org/women-health/understanding-bipolar-disorder/
Have you been diagnosed with bipolar or is this something you're researching to learn more about?

Hello Colleen
No, I haven't been diagnosed yet. I took a test online and everything matched with what I'm enduring. I'm afraid of being diagnosed. I don't want my family to feel like I'm crazy, I don't want them to feel different about me.
I have recently been diagnosed with Bipolar2. I have had a life time of misdiagnosis. I have just started medication and hopefully I can start feeling better at some point. I would like to experience some semblance of relief from constant depression and anxiety
