Very common: Depending on the severity of PTSD symptoms, bipolar disorder is a common cold morbid diagnosis. This is especially true for people who have been in combat situations. And evaluation by a psychiatrist who specializes in PTSD can be very helpful in determining if bipolar and PTSD are being experienced concomitantly by the patient.
