A lot of the times bipolar is misdiagnosed as depression because when you are manic you don't feel badly (usually) so you don't mention those times as much. It took me 4 years into therapy before my t/pdoc decided I was definitely bipolar and not just depressed.
What are your moods and symptoms like? Obviously, I am not a doctor or anything, but having suffered from bipolar for so long, at least I could help by telling you if your moods mimic bipolar at all.
Maybe he was quick to say no because he'd already thought about you being bipolar and decided against it.
