Is it bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder?
Psychology Today
Diagnosing psychiatric illness isn't easy. There's usually no lab test, physical indication, or quantitative measurement that can distinguish one illness from another, and often no magic bullet that can ensure effective treatment. Clinicians are dependent on a description of symptoms and patterns over time to make a diagnosis, and these often appear similar even when the underlying illness is very different.

Last year, Utah changed its definition of valid excuses for absences to include mental health issues.
