Diagnosis bipolar disorder with a blood test

Hi ,@Chachadepapel, thank you for opening this discussion! What interesting news!

Have any of you heard of this? Do you think it would make diagnosing bipolar disorder easier or quicker?

Hmmm? Sounds a bit fishy, psych disorder diagnosed by blood test.

As far as quicker goes, don't know.

How you feel Peggy ?

Hi @Chachedpapel. Hi & how are you? I'm ok, tired from sleep apnea, only work on call. Enough of winter!! Frigid here in Minnesota. Where do u live?

I hope it works so we can weed out the ones that aren't. I'm still questioning if I have it and I was diagnosed at age 18 I'm now 52. I am a big denier of my diagnose. I do what I'm supposed to do because I do fluctuate, I still question to this day. What I mean by weeding them out is I go to my doctor and therapy and all the people there say the have bipolar. I'm just tired of it. Doctors have to put something down for insurance reasons. I'm not sayingk they all don't have bipolar but all? And there's alot.

Whether it works or not, when will a blood test for autism be developed?
