If not Bipolar, What could it be?

Bipolar disorder is a notoriously tricky mental illness to diagnose. Why? Because it mimics so many other issues. These include:

- Thyroid Issues

- Diabetes

- PMDD (Premenstrual dysphoric disorder)

- Major Depressive Disorder

- ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)

- Schizophrenia

- BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder)

- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Overtime, I hope to have a bit of an explanation for each of these. While you wait, google them and see if they make more sense than Bipolar Disorder. Take the information to your doctor, who should be able to explain why (or why not) bipolar disorder is the best explanation for your symptoms.
