A member asked:
Can you please tell me why everyone thinks they have bipolar disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Who is everyone?: Who is everyone? Psychiatric disorders don't have diagnostic tests. Also their names often have a different meaning in lay vernacular. For example, anyone who is going through a moody phase might be called bipolar by their friends, but it doesn't mean they have diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
