Bipolar Disorder Because there is no culture, no blood or urine test, no EKG or biopsy that specifically can diagnose bipolar disorder, you might wonder how the doctors arrived at that diagnosis. Like many psychiatric disorders, bipolar disorder can be difficult to diagnose. For many years, doctors have tried to clarify the guidelines they use to diagnose psychiatric disorders. However the experience of a given mental illness varies from one person to the next and this variation is one of the reasons mental illness can be so difficult to diagnose.
