Depression Treatment Care

Question by hyperspud182: Whats the procedure for a diagnosis of manic depression?
Im interested in knowing because my fiance who currently suffers depression and on anti depressants is convinced ( as well as me) that he could be suffering from bipolar disorder but how do we go about explaining this to the GP? (we dont want to ‘tell’ the doctor)

There is no other way than being honest with your MD, and they can run tests and compare symptoms to see if he reall does, in fact suffer from Bipolar disease. Good luck.
