A member asked:

How do i know if i have bipolar disorder or if they are just hormones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Almost certainly: Due to psychiatric disorder not hormones, just from statistical incidence. "hormones" don't cause the same symptoms and problems that bipolar disease does. Your doctor can sort it out for you.
