Can a Person be Diagnosed with Simultaneous Depression and Bipolar Disorder?
Depression and bipolar disorder are virtually never diagnosed together in the same person at the same time. Both are serious mental disorders that have many treatment options available to a person diagnosed with one of them. However, the treatments between depression and bipolar disorder are usually quite different, and the wrong diagnosis could start a person down a road of frustration with their treatment, because they feel no improvement in their symptoms.
