Bi-polar people please answer?

Question

I am coming out of a 5 year long depression how can I know if Im gone manic or Im getting to a normal?

Answer 1

ok let me tell ya how to know it

first what you gotta do is compare the amount of depression which you had in your First year of depression now if you see that the amount had increased in the past years and didnt decreased even in this year that means things are getting worse and immediatly medications must be taken...BUT if you see that the depression you had in first year is decreasing and keep on decreasing in your 5 th year that means your getting to normal..

Answer 2

First off, are you taking meds, and if so, which?

If you're coming out of a 5 year depression, I'm guessing you're Bipolar 1 and probably on Lithium. If so, then Lithium is an anti-manic, so you should be OK.

The only real answer is to talkto your psychiatrist, and have someone close know the symptoms to look out for and keep an eye on you.

Answer 3

How exactly do you know you are coming out of depression? Do you know that you are bipolar?

I am not bi-polar myself, but a psychiatrist will be able to diagnose you, so if you don't have one yet, you should look into getting one.
