My niece recently was misdx'd as a bipolor. She turned out to have a classic case of depression. Several members of my family are prone to bouts of depressions and in some cases they have to be hopsitalized as a result.

You are very correct in that ADD can sometimes mimic the symtoms of Bi-Polar Disorder. And depression that cycles in severity can easily be misdx'ed as Bi-Polar as well, because the less severe cycles are mistaken for mania.
