Being Diagnosed

Hello;
I read through some of the articles here about Bipolar Disorder, and I was wondering...how could I get assessed for this? If I'm Bipolar, that would explain a lot, but I need to know for sure. Does it cost anything to take an assessment? Where would I need to go? Any kind of advice/suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks,

If you don't, you either have to pay his fee, or find out what services are available in your community. Many clinics offer care free or on a sliding fee scale, your state health department could refer you, also try department of economic security.
