I guess because they don't know either and whatever psychotherapy or pharmacotherapy, some symptoms don't go away. Thats one of the reasons I am suggesting myself wether it could be this or that.
here in the USA the labels containing NOS has been discontinued, this happened back in 2013. and a diagnostic criteria for mental disorders stating the problem cant be better explained by another mental disorder. this may be why they changed your diagnosis off of those NOS diagnosis's to BP1 and BP2. (because they felt BP1 and BP2 better explains your problems now that there is no NOS diagnosis labels in the USA)

just a guess here so if you are in the USA you might want to talk to your treatment providers, they will explain more in detail why they diagnosed you the way they did.
Thanks for this!
