Hello,

Psychiatrists are not supposed to make a definate diagnosis of bipolar disorder unless a person has had a manic, hypomanic or mixed episode while not taking any medication. The fact that you had a mixed episode while on an SSRI is suggestive of bipolar disorder but it's not sufficient to make the diagnosis in itself.

Ed.
