In other cases it can be more difficult, such as when a patient presents as depressed but they are really bipolar. It is best to have an evaluation by a mental health professional to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Possibly: But there can be significant overlap between bipolar spectrum disorders and other psychiatric and medical conditions. In general, self -diagnosis my not be accurate. Recommend comprehensive psychiatric/ psychological evaluation. Take care.
