I've actually asked that same question here before and never got an actual answer. I think it may be difficult to tell the difference, which may be why its hard to treat. I think there's alot they still don't know about treating any 'mental illnesses' (I don't like that term but don't know what else to call it). Sometimes treatment just seems to be a shot in the dark. But because some people have actually found relief, it makes it worth it to keep trying. If you haven't already, you may want to find a psychologist who has experience treating bipolar and could get you on some medications.
I hope you find relief soon.
