Looks like you’re freaking auseinandergesetzt.Erstens on this issue when you go to the doctor, tell him you think, afraid of what you feel and and concerns about sind.Zweitens is an assessment as an evaluation, you pay someone to listen and share their knowledge. Then you will present its recommendations – that you express what you think of these recommendations and work together as a team to try a entscheiden.Also game plan, please do not analyze things too closely half the things you do not even play.

Excessive talk; racing thoughts
Inflated self-esteem
Unusual energy; less need for sleep
Impulsiveness, a reckless pursuit of gratification — shopping sprees, impetuous travel, more and sometimes promiscuous sex, high-risk business investments, fast driving
Hallucinations and or delusionsIn the depressive phase:
Depressed mood and low self-esteem

Sadness, loneliness, helplessness, guilt

If you ask a doctor, the general public, and people who tend to think like me you will get three VERY different answers. Of course I can only answer for me…
I believe mood disorders are not really “disorders”, rather the result of something else, ie. problems at home, work, or in your past. Can drugs erase memories and make them all better? Probably, but that is not fixing the problem rather covering it up.
If you feel you suffer from some mood disorder you should probably see a pathologist or multidisciplinary doctor prior to speaking with a psychiatrist. Your disorder may be linked to some chemical imbalance in, for example, your thyroid. Once you get the all clear that you are physically fit, then you should speak with a psychiatrist. Your fear, however, should not be over misdiagnosis. Make sure the psychiatrist adresses any concerns you may have about experiences which may cause a mood disorder. Heck, you might even be pregnant!
Just kidding… but on a more serious not I think there is an incidence of overdiagnosis for little know disorders like bipolar. Doctors don’t really know much about this disorder, ie. what causes it, to be diagnosing it at the rate which they do. Diagnosis for this disorder has shot up dramatically over the past ten years. I just read a report saying it may be linked to underdiagnosis in the past, and overdiagnosis now, but the point its there is not enough known about this and other mood disorders for doctors to be treating it with life altering medications and diagnosing it at the rate with which they do.
