Bi-polar testing for something medical?

Bi-polar testing for something medical?

My daughter was first diagnosed OCD with psycotic manifestations.  Now she's diagnoise bi-polar - taking seroquel and lithium (alergic (allergic) to lamictal).  My question is, what medical conditions can cause symptoms that might present as bi-polar.  Brian tumors, Lupus, ???  I'm wondering if I should just except the bi-polar diagnosis or it I should be demanding CT scans and certain blood test to rule out other causes.  What tests should I be asking for?

thryoid malfunction can present itself as bi polar. Has you daughter had her thyroid tested? and see if she can take something besides lithium becasue that can damage the thyroid further.Lthium is bad stuff and there are lots better meds for bi polar.I take celexa and zyprexa.I am pretty sure the lithium ruined my thyroid.let me know how things workout. your daughter is in my prayers.
