What Are The Symptoms Of Potential Bipolar Disorder?

I am an 18 year old female and have no previous medical issues or any complications in my health. For years since I can remember I have had mood swings, both up and down, i feel restless and my concentration and memory are failing. Some days I have thoughts of ending my life and then a few hours later im extremely happy. I looked up bipolar depression and it suddenly all made sense, I'd just like to be sure?

Psychologist 's  Response
Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You are just 18 and why do you want to think this negative. occasional Mood swings, occasional low concentration, occasional low memory etc are problems which you are generalizing. Must have happened several times when you were disappointed. As a teen ager, you are supposed to be disappointed in so many life circumstances. That is normal and you are learning, the life. I strongly believe that you should address your disappointment and your attitude. You may take assistance from a psychologist for counseling. No negative thinking or obsessing, please.
