If you see a professional to help with your depression, you need to report if you’ve ever had symptoms of mania or hypomania so your doctor can tell if you have unipolar or bipolar depression. Go through this list of manic symptoms and check any that you have ever had for more than four days in a row, then tell your doctor:
You function quite well without any or with very little sleep.
You feel superhuman, as though you can do anything and everything!
Ideas pop into your brain faster than you can process them.
You feel the need to keep talking.
You feel irritable or lose your temper often and for little reason.
People keep telling you to slow down!
You feel active, outgoing, and are easily distracted.
You spend a ton of money or rack up huge bills on your credit cards.
You engage in hypersexual or risky sexual activity.
You talk so that others can’t keep up or don’t understand.
You feel as though you’re the best and fastest at everything you do.
