Can you please click on this site and look at the different minerals because it is sounding like you are missing minerals more than anything else. I would tell you probably calcium, copper, potassium and iron but you know all of your symptoms and probably reading thru them would help you realize even more.

Answer 3

It is stronger than that of just depression. “According to some scientific studies,” says the American Medical Association, “immediate family members—parents, siblings, or children—of people with bipolar depression are 8 to 18 times more likely than the close relatives of healthy people to develop the illness. In addition, having a close family member with bipolar depression may make you more vulnerable to major depression.”

In contrast with depression, bipolar disorder seems to afflict men and women equally. Most often, it begins in young adulthood, but cases of bipolar disorder have been diagnosed in teenagers and even children. Nevertheless, analyzing the symptoms and arriving at the proper conclusion can be highly challenging even for a medical expert. “Bipolar disorder is the chameleon of psychiatric disorders, changing its symptom presentation from one patient to the next, and from one episode to the next even in the same patient,” writes Dr. Francis Mark Mondimore of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “It is a phantom that can sneak up on its victim cloaked in the darkness of melancholy but then disappear for years at a time—only to return in the resplendent but fiery robes of mania.”

.It is important to note that no single symptom on its own indicates depression or bipolar disorder. Most often, it is a cluster of symptoms manifested over a period of time that leads to a diagnosis.

Answer 6

Hey there.  I have bipolar.  The place to start is with your regular doctor for a check up and some blood tests to rule out medical problems like thyroid dysfunction.  A good psychiatrist will want these tests run before diagnosing anyway.  If you have no medical problems, then see a psychiatrist for an evaluation.  You are describing what *could* be bipolar symptoms.  If you have it, you are much better off starting treatment early than putting it off.  Bipolar is a progressive illness.  Starting earlier means less medication than you'll need if you wait.  Oh, and if you do manage the disorder with meds and therapy, you can live a normal life accomplishing whatever you want.  

Answer 7

What you are describing does sound like bipolar symptoms, however other illness do have the same or similar symptoms as well.  Get to a psychiatrist. They can talk to you and find out what is going on.  No one on here can diagnose you.  

One thing with bipolar, it ususally dosent shift episodes rapidly. Episodes usually last weeks, months or even years

Oh and to answer the can you die from it.  Directly, no, however bipolar does lead to a high number of suicides.  The statistics i remeber is 50% of people with bipolar attempt suicide and 20% commit suicide.
