Question:
I was just wondering is bipolar could be brought on by a doctor prescribing meds to a person while guessing at the diagnosis.

I never experienced a manic or hypomanic episode (according to the DSM criteria) until after the diagnosis and since then I have gotten only worse.


Dr. Heller's Answer:
Bipolar is often first diagnosed because an antidepressant or stimulant triggers mania.  When triggered by a substance its referred to as Bipolar III.

It's possible you do indeed have bipolar, or it could just be triggered by the drug.  It is a difficult diagnostic dilemma.
