Question This is unclear to me.....

  • Quote:
    • In a national survey, approximately 7 out of 10 people with bipolar disorder had been misdiagnosed—most frequently with major depressive disorder.


    Bipolar Depression or Major Depressive Disorder?

    The differences between depressive symptoms caused by bipolar disorder and those caused by major depressive disorder (sometimes called "major depression") can be subtle and easy to miss.
  • This came from the sponsored link from seroquel.
  • are they saying that 7 out of 10 people are diagnosed with depression but are really bipolar? or is it the other way around? I am a bit confused what they are trying to say.

I'm a bit confused by this also... it's hard to tell what they are saying.

Confused

Hi bizi and Abasaki,
I think it means that seven out of ten people are mistakenly diagnosed as having major depressive disorder.
I was by my first two pdocs.
The third one got to see me in a hypomanic state.
Lucky him.

Just joking. He is brilliant.

HI,
Yes.
Isis has it.
7 out of 10 people who are diagnosed with bipolar, had been misdiagnosed before they got the bipolar diagnosis.

I wonder how many went manic from ssri's and that is how they discovered they were bipolar?
shrugs at the thought......

Default according to my pdoc ...

it is possible to have a drug-induced manic reaction, and not be bipolar.

clearly bipolars are much much more at risk for manic switch from antidepressants.

but a drug-induced manic reaction, albeit grounds for caution with anti-depressants, further investigation into the patient's history and certainly a longitudinal observation, is by itself insufficient for a bipolar diagnosis.

i suspect not all pdocs agree on this.

but in effect, even the DSM states that a bipolar diagnosis requires an episode of mania, hypomania or mixed mania that is not drug-induced.
