Please consult a GP/physician, or psychiatrist. The diagnosis can only be done by a trained psychiatrist. Bipolar disorder is characterised by periods of depression and mania. Medication and compliance is paramount to bipolar control.

And I have never, ever, heard of a no-drug bipolar control strategy. What are you guys advising here? If a manic bipolar goes off, the patient can literally die from exhaustion! It's a serious condition!

To TS: If the previous diagnosis of social anxiety disorder was done by a psychiatrist, it is likely that your diagnosis will remain in personality disorder categories, unless the symptomatology that you will report to the psychiatrist is markedly different. Don't be afraid to pour everything out to your psychiatrist, it helps the psychiatrist gain rapport and understanding with you.
