Questions your doctor may ask to check for bipolar disorder
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose bipolar disorder
Do you feel you have less ambition, motivation or willpower lately?
Do you feel you have problems concentrating recently?
Do you feel more restless than usual and this affects the way you move or speak?
Before your mood dropped drastically, was there a period where you could perform well despite no/minimal sleep?

Treatment for bipolar disorder
Regular medication and therapy is important and effective. In severe cases, hospitalisation may be needed to prevent the patient from harming themselves or others during their extreme mood swings. Such cases may also benefit from having a procedure where electricity is passed through the brain.
