How easy is it to identify bipolar disorder?

How hard is it for someone to tell the difference between “normal” depression and bipolar? Also- how can someone identify a person as being bipolar and not just going through the typical highs and lows of adult life? How often does this get confused with a mid-life crisis or typical teen/young adult problems?
bobblehead- it wasn’t a question about me- but i appreciate your concern.
i was just wondering in general how hard it is to identify since the symptoms seem so vague.
