Title
Study suggests bipolar disorder is overdiagnosed.
Abstract
The article presents a study that suggests bipolar disorder is overdiagnosed. Researchers from Warren Alpert Medical School in Brown University claims that more than half of bipolar diagnoses may be wrong. They speculate that reasons why clinicians diagnosed it as such include attributing agitation, insomnia and racing thoughts to bipolar disorder rather than major depression and greater ease in treating it than other psychiatric conditions.
