> My psychiatrist said there's a consensus in the the field regarding the overdiagnosis of bipolar. There is research, not sure what the best sources are, never did research on the issue, but here's just one study:

That one study was written by the same author (Zimmerman) who predominates the only 12 Medline citations that appear when using the keywords "bipolar disorder overdiagnosed"

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=search&DB=pubmed&form=4&term=bipolar+disorder+overdiagnosed

I applaud Zimmerman for approaching this issue using a scientific methodology. He might be right. However, there remains a paucity of data produced that corroborate his thesis. That being said, a paucity of data doesn't exclude the accuracy of the few studies that exist.
