Hi bob:
No, I am sorry but there is no blood test or any other physical testings that will diagnose Bipolar Disorder.
Bipolar Disorder is diagnosed by a psychiatrist. The diagnosis is based on all the information that you tell him/her and also his/her observations. All that information is combined and the doc will tell you if you do or don't have Bipolar Disorder.
Please keep in mind that only a doctor can diagnose Bipolar and realistically should be a psychiatrist.
Once properly diagnosed then you and your doc can create a treatment plan designed just for you which can include regular scheduled visits, medication, counseling/therapy, or any combination there of.
Be safe and be well

No. It is diagnosed by a psychiatrist based on everything you tell him. Be honest about everything.......and I mean everything so they can make a good diagnosis
