Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
The term bipolar means a person gets periodic episodes of depression and mania / hypomania . In your case you have described symptoms of depression only . You did not narrate symptoms of mania / hypomania . So you donot have a bipolar disorder
