Yes it's possible to feel completely normal shortly after a manic episode. You don't have to get depressed, you know!

Mania can be triggered by life's events, so can depression. And bipolar doesn't make sense.... it's an extreme reaction to events that so called normal people don't have....
Can bipolar be misdiagnosed? Well, sure, but mania is pretty clear cut.
