Well, I can't tell you whether you have bipolar or Hashi, but... if bipolar meds work for you, then it doesn't matter which one you have. Your ultimate goal is to get better.

There are some people with Autism who take mood stabilizers, even though mood stabilizers are meant for bipolar disorder. Does that mean those Autistic patients are bipolar? Not necessarily... but the mood stabilizers help them a lot.

So, I personally wouldn't worry too much about labels and I would instead focus on finding medication that works, but that's just me.

Hope that helps
