This is an extract and I believe it is quite common to diagnose bi-polar as symptoms may be similar in hyperthyroidism and they haven't had the appropriate thyroid gland blood tests. This is an extract:-
Thyroid disorders also are associated with alterations in mood. Patients with hypothyroidism may present with depressive symptoms while patients with hyperthyroidism may present with symptoms consistent with mania. Therefore, thyroid function should be evaluated before a diagnosis of depression or bipolar disorder is made.
