Dr. Michael Roizen, MD

answer
If you think you have bipolar disorder, talk to your doctor as soon as possible. No, sooner than that!!! He may refer you to a psychiatrist. Don’t be spooked. A psychiatrist is just a doctor who specializes in evaluating and treating mental health conditions, like bipolar disorder. There’s no shame in talking to a psychiatrist about your symptoms. It is just like talking about your knee or back problems with an orthopedist.
