I attended an excellent lecture by a psychiatrist invited to speak to a Depression Bipolar Support Alliance meeting. He said that an initial diagnosis should not be regarded as all that much more than a guess. That is how it is with things from the neck down to, often. A diagnosis is just provisional, until a decision is made that a different one may fit better.

I've been diagnosed and undiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder repeatedly.
