Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Tiredness and fatigue is common in depressive episode of bipolar disorder, whdo not improve with vitamins or health supplements only. It require supervised treatment from psychiatrist in form of mood stabilizers and other medications depending on severity and types of symptoms.
Also get evaluated for hemoglobin and thyroid function to rule out medical cause of your problem.
