How Can I Deal With Bipolar Depression?

i am sure i have bi-polar depression but my main worry is the effects of the depressive side as I struggle to come to terms with all the negative thoughts I have and being frightened to go out of the house as everything is a threat to me and I don't know where to turn next for help

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

If you do not have any history of manic episode, then there is no chance of bipolar depression. Then i will say, you have unipolar depression and need antidepressant treatment. With antidepressant, these negative thoughts and anxiety symptoms would decrease. Better to discuss about this with psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and management.

Thanks
