10 Symptoms to Identify Bipolar Disorder

5. State of Depression

The depressive state often leaves people with bipolar disorder feeling constantly tired and lethargic; they may feel tempted to remain in bed for hours without the energy to get up. This state is one of the common causes of misdiagnosis of bipolar because it can easily be mistaken for depression. People with bipolar who are prescribed antidepressants may find their symptoms worsen because this medication is not enough to treat all their symptoms. Antidepressants can also prompt manic episodes.
