Question:
How do I go about getting on antidepressants?
I am a 22 yr old female, during my teen years I was diagnosed as bipolar ..I was to see a psychiatrist to get on meds.. at that time I did not want meds and would lie to my doctor about feeling excellent and I was evaluated as not needing antidepressants. I've always gone through major highs and lows.. daily.. it's not so bad anymore but I can quickly go from feeling fantastic to feeling completely miserable and hating life. No suicidal thoughts. I have a 2 yr old so have no desire to end my life. When I had my child I went through postpartum depression and thought I was going insane.. I did not go to my doctor and got through it eventually but some symptoms have not left me.. I wake up feeling exhausted, not wanting to get up..I have no energy, I dont know if this is depression or something else.
