there are many different symptoms. diagnosis with add and depression could be one of them. same with personality disorders. teenaged angst could also be a sign. it can often times be a subtle condition that is hard to diagnose and not worth treating with medication, but talk therapy can help.

there are different types of bipolar disorder, and people experience it differently. it is often diagnosed later on in life or after being diagnosed with something else.

ultimately i would go to 2 different doctors and see what each of them thinks.
