What to Expect at Bipolar Disorder Evaluation

During your first appointment at Huntsman Mental 亚洲自慰视频 Institute (HMHI), you will meet with one of our mental health providers. There is currently no laboratory test for diagnosing bipolar disorder. However, we may order lab tests or ask your primary care provider for a physical examination to rule out other conditions with similar symptoms.

Your mental health provider will ask extensive questions about your medical history. Before your first appointment, write down your symptoms for depressive and/or manic episodes you may have experienced. If you鈥檙e not sure what qualifies as an episode, tell your provider what happened. Remember, mania doesn鈥檛 always look like you think it should. 

If possible, bring someone who is close to you and knows you well. Their insight and observations can be helpful to your care provider.
