Catty is right, there are currently no lab tests to check for mental disorders. It would be wonderful if they could do that, though.

((((hugs)))) I understand what you are going though. I don't have bipolar but I do have depression, and it can be very frustrating to find the right treatment. It took me a while to fine the medication that would work best with me, but it was so worth it in the end. Just hang in there, and PM me if you ever need to talk.
