k so if a person doesn’t know they’re bipolar but could be, but at the same time they think they are depressed. How do you tell which one it is?

You need to go to a doctor or therapist. They’re trained to assess these problems and do what they can to help with them.
well they could be both like i could be depressed and bipoler. anyone can! bipolor could be the reason y u r depressed!
technically they are both the same, put under one umbrella.
Hun first of all stop trying to figure out the label and try figuring out Why are you depressed. There are some things in life that depress the devil out of me that i hear about….so unless its a permanent state with you, you figure out whats causing it and fix it. Being depressed about something is a very natural thing, specially at the age where one is too young for boys, too old for toys, one does go through a stage of ho hums one feel will never end. So rather then trying to figure out how to diagnose it, concentrate on things that you like doing,, pick up a hobby, read a book, , go for a walk, until the mood passes.or offer to help out around the house
Bipolar means characterised by periods of mania alternating with periods of depression, not just depression alone.
Just as "a lawyer who defends himself has a fool for a client," your brain cannot diagnose itself! If you have one of these disorders it’s important to get a medical opinion.
