The thing you have to be careful with is doctors try to diagnose things to lightly. I went to see a psychiatrist one time because I was having a lot of family issues. She really pushed the meds on me saying I had an anxiety disorder. Did I really have it or was I anxious and depressed because of my environment?
Think about it, aren't we all a little bit bipolar? I mean I've had days where I am feeling down and days where I'm feeling good, which, I can assume other people have had too. Does that make everyone bipolar?
I would take a serious look around you. Maybe there is something that is making you feel depressed sometimes and good at other times. Just because you have feelings about certain things does not mean you need to medicate them.
