i was originally diagnosed with depression then changed drs and they diagnosed me with bipolar 2.  i have been on numerous meds.  ifwhat you are on is making you have these episodes you most likely could have bipolar.  if you dont trust your healthcare professional go to another one for a 2nd opinion.

  If an anti-depressent induces mania that can be one potential sign that a person has bipolar but it would depend on what else is going on. Best to keep a mood tracker and also think if in the past before you started medication if you had varying mood episodes rather than just depression. It would be essential for your psychiatrist to be open minded about this or if they can't be it might be worthwhile to seek a second opinion.
