I have always had depression. For a short time, while in active addiction, i was diagnosed as bipolar and then it changed back to major depression. Before i started self medicating in order to have motivation i was like this, and after i quit self medicating its just my normal state to be highly uninterested in being alive. I dont get manic, i just want to be unconcious and have no interest in anything. Why do i feel like every doctor under the sun is pushing for a diagnosis of bipolar? I repeat over and over that bipolar medications have not helped, i do not have mood swings or mania. Suicidal depression runs in my family. I have lived in a few different states and seen different doctors and no matter where i go it seems like everyone can not wait to throw out a bipolar diagnosis. Is there an underlying motivation in pushing a diagnosis of bipolar?
