Normally psychiatrists prefer diagnosing based on symptoms presenting and self-inventory tests such as the MMPI.

For instance, a person may become manic on an antidepressant, but that does not mean they will be diagnosed as bipolar-the DSM excludes mania caused by medication as a criteria for a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
