Did you get diagnosed with unipolar depression three months ago, and now you have so much energy you can't sleep? Have you ever been diagnosed with another psychiatric disorder? The doctor will want to rule out unipolar depression, schizophrenia, and other possible psychiatric causes for your symptoms. The doctor might ask you to draw a “mood chart” of the past twelve months or several years. This might seem obvious, but if you've been through a recent trauma such as rape, a violent relationship, or even a scary car accident, you should definitely speak up. Trauma can shake you up in a way that resembles mental illness. And if you have both a mental illness and trauma, there's no reason you should address only one of the two and ignore the other.
