Do I have bi polar disorder?

Dear Ask The Doctor: I think I may be bipolar and I was wondering if you could possibly tell me if it is more likely to be bipolar or depression because I don't really feel comfortable telling my parents or guidance cunciller orvtalking to a doctor until I know a little bit more about it. From what I have read online I thinkbit might be bi polar but I think I'm a little bit in denial. I feel really sad all the time and I am very emotional. I get angry very easily and I sleep too much, like I can sleep for three days straight and gfen just go back to normal bug also I can stay awake got days. I am eating more now and I am taking on morevtasks but I feel it extra hard to concentrate. I fit more of the symptoms but don't know if I'm just making myself think I gave the disorder but I actually don't. Please help?

Dear Kirsten: Your symptoms predominantly point towards depression which is characterized by decreased or increased sleep and appetite, along with a low mood, feelings of guilt, loss of interest etc.However the only one symptom pointing towards a bipolar disoder which is both mania and depression is that of taking on more tasks and lack of concetration.However I would like to stress that this diagnoses needs a more detailed history as well as more number of visits with a physician in person.Thus i highly recommend seeing a physician in person for a more clearer picture.All the best.
