I tend to switch between being really hyper and happy almost to a point where it’s like I’m on something and being extremely depressed and not knowing why. I also had a grandfather who had manic depression (I’m not sure if it’s genetic but I’m just adding that in case it is.) Could I have it too? If so what should I do about it?

It is genetic and your odds are higher having a close relative who has/had it. What you describe could be indicative, but there’s more to it. See a psychiatrist who specializes in mood disorders for an evaluation. Your GP/PCP should be able to give you a referral. I have manic depression and suggest that you do get it checked to rule it out if nothing else.

Manic depression si genetic. my great grand mother was my grand mother is my mother my brother myself are all manic depressive. i think you should talk to a dr. about all of you thoughts and feelings it really helps with racing thoughts and such and he can get you on the right meds to make you level out. in stead of going up and down so fast you could have a more stead pace in your ” cycle” my mom is a rapid cycler and i am a more moderate case of manic depression. i would find a good doctor that stays up to date on all meds

manic depresion or bipolar disorder is genetic. you should go to the doctor, this disorder can be managed if you take the right steps to do so. and dont smoke pot or do any other drugs because it will only make it much worse
