Symptoms / Diagnosis

Coping and Support



From Marcia Purse, your Guide to Bipolar Disorder
When diagnosing bipolar disorder, many other physical conditions need to be ruled out. Sometimes bipolar disorder is diagnosed when in fact the patient has an entirely different condition. And sometimes a patient has more than one condition that can confuse a diagnosis.

Rare Sleep Disorder Mimics Bipolar Disorder
Kleine-Levin Syndrome, a very rare illness that affects mostly male adolescents, has many symptoms that can cause it to be misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder.

Lupus and Bipolar Disorder
Problems caused in the nervous system by lupus include mood disorder and psychosis, which lead to the question of a link between lupus and bipolar disorder.

More Conditions That Can Resemble Bipolar Disorder
Diabetes, multiple sclerosis and thyroid disorders are just a few of the conditions that can cause symptoms similar to those of bipolar disorder.

Bipolar Disorder, Meds, and Blood Sugar
As mentioned above, symptoms of diabetes can be mistaken for those of bipolar disorder. Even more confusion can be caused when medications taken for bipolar disorder affect the blood sugar.
