Default Bathroom ceiling toward the walls than in the middle

We recently re-tiled the shower surround in our guest bathroom. The
bathroom
is a smaller bathroom, 5' deep and 8 feet long. Anyway whileÂ* working on
the
tile, I noticed that the ceiling seemed to be lower at each end of the
bathroom than it is in the middle. So I broke out my level and sure enough
there is almost an 1 1/2 inch to 2 inch difference between the edges of the
room to theÂ* center. It's almost like aÂ* dome shape, or upside down U.
Almost
like it's crowning. There are no cracks in the drywall. What would cause
this
to happen? What can be done toÂ* fix it.Â* I'd prefer not to rip out the
drywall
since there is blown insulation in the attic. Would the easiest solution
be to
add furring strips to the high spots to bring it level with the lower
ends and
add another sheet of drywall to make the surface level?


It's like an igloo. Any water that condenses will run down the walls and
not drip on you from the ceiling.
