In reply to Bipolar tentative diagnosis, but I'm not sure...., posted by fiftylager on February 17, 2006, at 18:17:50
It's hard to say based on what you've related. You could have anxiety secondary to depressive disorder or you could be bipolar. What you described occurring prior to this month sounds more like depression complimented by anxiety. But what you've described going through the last few weeks seems bipolar.
As to rapid cycling, if you haven't had other episodes like this in recent months, I think it's hard to say you're rapid cycling. This could be a singular episode from which you return to your normal state long-term.
See your pdoc, but I wouldn't hesitate to ask the gp for something in the meantime.
