Question:
I was wondering if any of you had a copy of some sort of test that can tell if you have manic depression or symptoms of md- if so could you be kind enough to send it to me, or post it on the message board?
Answer:
Try www.mentalhealth.com They have an online diagnostic program; it is possibly a useful guide although a doctor is the best bet.
I think that you really have to go see a doctor. If you're not pleased with some aspect of (or all of) your life, then be evaluated by a mental health professional. It can't hurt, and it might do you a world of good. Some terrible and destructive cases of MD are extremely subtle (some are obvious, too). Rotten Ralph is about to state the obvious...If can be as "nutty as a fruitcake" but if it doesn't negatively effect your life, who cares? But if you have any level of "problems" that bother's you, then it is time to get help.
