I've never had any personal experience with bipolar disorder, so I only know what I learned in my psychology class. I would have to say that it is most likely under diagnosed, or at least commonly misdiagnosed as depression. People tend to only see their doctor when they are going through a depressive phase, because they feel so much better during manic phases that they see no need.
You should definitely consult with a professional as soon as possible, they're the only ones qualified to diagnose something like this.
