So, yes again I visited another psychiatric just yesterday, and we talked for a bit more than an hour, and he told me he totally disagrees with the other doc, and he doesn't see any Bipolar in me.
He told me Zoloft is a good choice, but the dose I was on is ineffective and usually 150 mg is the dosage for good results.
Yes, anyway he told me that since I have obsessional personality (which is true), then it is better to take another medicine from the same family SSRI, but with effects that help to suppress the obsessional features in me, and the anxiety and worry that I do also have.
So the other medicine was Prozac, I hope it helps me out.
But I mean look how things are, what about all those people who go to the previous psychiatric (if we suppose he was wrong), that gives us an insight to how many misdiagnosed people are there. And I have to add that he is a reputable one as well.

I'm glad you found a proper psychiatrist who took the time to sit down and talk to you. It sounds like he knows what he's doing.
Sometimes it's the doctors that everyone thinks are amazing that end up being frauds and charlatans. Actually, that happens in any field. Perhaps they're charismatic, perhaps they convince people they're better when they're not.
If he is frequently misdiagnosing people, I would hope that he would be reported and have his licence taken away. But that seems unlikely.
