Suspecting Bipolar Disorder

Question

Asked for Male, 22 Years

I recently got to know what bipolar disorder exactly is and the symptoms and signs seemed too close to my thoughts and personality to doubt that I might have that. So after reading a bit online I decided give an online test a try. So I tried the test in this site https://www.psycom.net/depression.central.bipolar-screening.html , a questionnaire by Dr. Ivan Goldberg. The test showed that there is a high probability that I might be in the bipolar spectrum. So I wanted a professional opinion and I want to know if I should book an appointment with a psychiatrist.

Online tests are not diagnostic. However, if you have symptoms then see a psychiatrist without divulging that you took an online test...it could bias the opinion.
