What Are The Symptoms Of Bipolar Disorder?

Hello My daughter was prescribed Zoloft 50 mg for a diagnosis of major depression disorder. She has had a very good response overall. She began feeling a lot better within a few weeks. I read that this dose is typically sub therapeutic for Zoloft. Could this be a sign that she may be bipolar?
