How do you kow you are depressed or bipolar? please help?!

It's hard to say because mood swings are pretty normal at your age!. Many teens feel up and down and cry for no reason even!. It would take a professional to make the determination!. I know school is out, but a great resource is your school psychologist, counselor or social worker!. Talk to your parents about it if you think they would understand!. If not, do you have a trusted adult outside of school!? Talk to someone, it'll help!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's hard to tell if someone as young as you may have bi-polar disorder because you're going through so many body changes with puberty and that can through off your hormones like no other!. I would say!.!.!. if you are having suicidal thoughts or very bad thoughts in general that is definitely sounding like depression!. There's much more to bipolar disorder then just "mood swings"!. Someone with bipolar disorder tends to make irrational decisions such as spending large amounts of money or maybe sleeping 2 hours and being up for 2 days straight!.!.!.!.many, many things! If you think this could get serious or affect your daily life i would definitely suggest making an appointment with a psychiatrist so they can evaluate you throughly! I hope this helps :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
