A member asked:

Is my extreme confusion caused from bipolar or could it be another possible mental health issue? how can i find out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Evaluation: There can be multiple possible causes of confusion. Side effects and interactions from medication alone could cause confusion. A primary care doctor would be a good place to start to help rule out any medical causes. If needed, they may refer you to a specialist, such as a neurologist.
