A member asked:

Is there an actual test to determine if you're a bipolar? should i go meet doctors and check it myself?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Evaluation, not test: Making a psychiatric diagnosis such as bipolar disorder requires an in-person interview with a mental health professional. It's a combination of your answers to questions and how you look and act in the office. There is no blood test or brain scan to diagnose bipolar, although psychological testing (pencil-and-paper type tests) can help confirm it. First step: see a doctor if you're concerned.
