Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
So I was told today that I may not have bipolar disorder which concerns me because I have all the signs for it except for the manic episodes. So if I dont have manic episodes....what do I have?
