Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The symptoms that you have stated appear to be of bipolar mood disorder and this will need you to take mood stabilizers and antipsychotics for improvement. Mood stabilizers such as valproate, lithium, carbamazepine and antipsychotics like quetiapine, olanzapine or aripiprazole are good drugs for this purpose.
The treatment needs to be taken for a longer period and you can function as a normal person during the period.
You need to see a psychiatrist, other wise it is not possible. The other way is seek treatment from India or any developing country where the cost of treatment will be very less.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
