Dear lybrate-user, depression can be a part of bipolar disorder. There are different types of bipolar disorder. One need not have two poles to get diagnosed. Your doctor might have felt that you have bipolar depression and prescribed mood stabilisers like licarb and lamez. Without the mood stabiliser, if you take only antidepressant, you may go into a manic episode or you may not respond fully to antidepressant. Please follow your doctor for tablets and internet for knowledge in general.
