Jоlisа, 17, sаys thаt she is seeking оut cоunseling because she just wants her mood to be normal. Jolisa states that for the past two years her family and friends have repeatedly asked her why her mood is always “off.” Jolisa says that she seems to never be just “normal happy” or “normal sad.” On days that she is happy she can’t seem to quit talking (and usually gets in trouble for it at school) and she can’t seem to concentrate on these days. These happy times last for a few days, and then she feels extremely sad. In her sad times she feels very self-conscious and down on herself. She also doesn’t want to do anything but sleep during the down times. These down periods typically last a couple of weeks. She seems to bounce back and forth between these two extremes. Jolisa says, “I just want to be normal. Why can’t I be happy without talking so much that I get in trouble or make my friends mad? And why do I get so sad all the time that I can’t get out of bed?” Which diagnosis is most likely for Jolisa?
