How would you know if you were misdiagnosed of having bipolar?

I take meds for mild spacey seizures. What irritates me and always grumpy is my obsessive thoughts I can't get rid of. Still the psyciatrist says that I have bipolar. I think she's wrong. because I take meds for ocd and I'm much better.

Also uncontrolled spending and doing things that uncharacteristic of your personality can be signs of mania. Try another doctor if you don't agree with yours.
If you feel you are misdiagnosed, come off your meds.
if what you are doing works for you then dont worry about it
