im 17, in my last therapy session my therapist had told me to get screened for bipolar as i was showing symptoms. after that, i started researching about bipolar disorder and it matched with the experiences ive been having for years now. well, time skip to now, im having a really bad menstrual period and the week before that ive been in deep depression and thoughts of suicide (still now) and went to search online about it and discovered PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) and i also found out most women with PMDD are misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder

please excuse my grammar, english is not my first language.

i just turned 17 a few weeks ago too, so im not very knowledgeable of these kind of stuff as well but id like to hear advice on what i should do
