I have a lot of respect for doctors but that is not where I would start if I wanted to get a good assessment of my mental health. First of all, doctors start with medication and there are many other options. Second, the treatment for depression and for bipolar disorder are different, so it is important to get an evaluation to figure out what is going on. If you decide to go the route of medications, there are a lot of good options, which do not generally include being on a lot of different medications. Also, remember that medication is never the total answer. Just like with IBS, there are a lot of behavioral things such as exercise, that you can do to feel better. Hang in there and let us know how things are going.
