A member asked:
Could somebody be diagnosed as "bi-polar" at anytime in your life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it's possible: It is possible to be diagnosed at any time in life, due to symptoms initially being less severe and detectable, the effects of medications/drugs on the nervous system, and, ironically, even successful treatment of depression "unmasking" an underlying mania (among other possible changes that affect manifestation of the symptoms).
