Mood Disorder
I am a 52 year old male. I have suffered from depression on and off for the last 30 years. I first went to the gp when I was 30 years old and a course of anti-depressants as worked for me. About 3 months ago I was prescribed Sertraline 50mg, this was increased to 100mg after 4 weeks. They made me Manic ,so I was placed on Mirtazapine. I have researched on the internet. I believe I have BPD or Bi-polar2 or maybe they are co-occurring. How can I get an accurate diagnosis.
