Nos últimos anos eu tenho agido de forma estranha e acho que posso ser bipolar. Como faço para ser diagnosticado, vou ao médico ou diretamente a um psiquiatra?
Start with your dr. Let them know your symptoms and be honest. They will then either start you on meds to help ir send u to a psychiatrist
Make an appointment with your GP
He will arrange Treatment Pathways and see what is going on.
What are your reasons to think you are BI Polar.

Hi for me im bipolar type ll and to be honest it took long time to be diagnosed . Yes i think you go to dr they will refer you on to physchiatrist but excpect to wait . Hope all goes ok . Sam
Goto a Dr who will send you to a psychiatrist if they deem it likely. Word of warning, don't tell the GP you think you have bipolar, and certainly not a psychiatrist. They do not appreciate being told that you've self diagnosed
A maioria das pessoas com transtorno bipolar nem sequer percebe que tem. Não recomendo o autodiagnóstico. Você precisa consultar seu médico de família e seguir a partir daí. Tenho transtorno bipolar e levou 6 anos para um diagnóstico completo.
Yes i agree bipolar people usually have friends or family members that raise concerns first over your behaviour your moods etc . Dont go drs telling him what you think is wrong. Be good idea if you have close friend or family who can support you honestly and get your concerns accross to dr .
Oi Gretharoll, estou passando por algo semelhante, poderia perguntar quais são os seus sintomas?
I would go straight to a psychiatrist.
Prior to the appointment I would write down what symptoms I am experiencing.
Mine were...not sleeping at night but having plenty of energy and not feeling tired.
A million things going on in my mind all at once.
Not being able to stay with one task...
Anger outbursts at family and strangers in local shops
Talking extremely fast and talking over other people always
Unable to focus on what anyone says to me
Feeling paranoid
Overly concerned about how I look
Gave a history of my employment and how I would blurt out inappropriate things.
In ONE session...they told me I was bipolar. And it is especially likely that you have bipolar if a sibling or family member has been diagnosed with it.
I agree with the person who said not to tell the Dr. YOU think you have bipolar..stick to describing the symptoms and your daily feelings and they will figure it out.
