Many people are misdiagnosed as bipolar because they have alternating states of depression. This can be from an undiagnosed hypoglycemic condition.

Eating sugars and starches will create a hypoglycemic reaction that makes you painfully depressed, and you will think it's your emotions doing it to you.

If you've not alternated between the high manic phase and the low depressive phase then you are not bipolar. You can heal of your condition with nutrition and yoga breathing. Meds rarely heal; they just maintain the status quo.
