She believes the medication is why I am having no psychotic symptoms now. Regarding bipolar, she said she looks for decreased need for sleep and reckless behavior, but the appointment was too quick for me to describe myself in depth.

I believe I was depressed when the psychotic symptoms came, but I have not told them. The only other thing I can think of would be apparent negative symptoms, like avolition, in addition to positive symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions.

Possibly.

I was diagnosed bipolar 1 a while back, so I know this. The problem is I don't know if I get true mixed episodes or manic episodes. EDIT. I asked if my symptoms sounded like mania on another forum, and it was suggested that I could be confusing emotional reactions to my delusions for overall mood, and that I do have schizophrenia. I ask how intense is mania? I thought I have been there...I was hospitalized once for it.
