It is not very common, but I would not call it rare. Nowadays it seems it is becoming more comonplace for more than one disorder to exist at the same time.

 
 

Answer 2/3 - Submitted 7/31/2010

One disorder could present with symptoms that are common to other disorders. Many mental health issues have similar symptoms, although they have different causes. For example bipolar disorder can cause mood swings and anxiety due to those swings.

 
 

Answer 3/3 - Submitted 7/31/2010

It is not unusual to have many symptoms of different psychiatric disorders. Similarity in symptoms often make a diagnosis difficult. As an example, bipolar disorder is often misdiagnosed as borderline personality disorder, post traumatic stress disorder or even schizophrenia.
