I'd suggest talking to your
psych team about it. If you are, its important that they realize that. The treatment for depression (if you're on meds) can cause the moods to be exaggerated, and can cause major problems in someone who's bipolar. If not, there really was no harm in exploring the possibility.

Everyone has some degree of mood change. It's the severity that causes the diagnosis of bipolar.
how severe are the mood changes?
is the mood irritable or elevated?
does it impair day to day functioning?
