How did you know if you were bipolar?

How did you know you were bipolar? My psychiatrist is going off by my reaction to my genesight which says I don’t respond well to ssri. I have did ok with Zoloft and lexapro though and I have depressed mood now she wants me to put me on a mood stabilizer.

I have seen therapist after therapist and still struggling to get a diagnosis. Idk if I’m suffering from major depression and bipolar depression I don’t have a reduced need for sleep, I am not very impulsive. (I shop every weekend but I have been doing that for years and I’m talking about trip to target and tj maxx just spending 100$ if that) the only thing that is a red flag is mood swings. I am stay at home working mom so my plate is full. I thought it was pmdd but here lately I had been irritable even when I’m not on my cycle. I do feel depressed and sad and it’s causing panic attacks. Idk what I am looking for here.. well maybe some advice. lol
