Is it normal to question your diagnosis from time to time? My initial bipolar diagnosis was after I took an antidepressant. Because of that, I always have this doubt in the back of my mind that maybe it was only medicine induced mania, not genetic. Deep down,I know my mood shifts even without meds, but I spent so long without taking anything that it “feels” normal to me even if it isn’t what others would consider normal. I also have OCD, which is sometimes called the doubting disease, so each time I make a med change, I have to take a few days off or more to remind myself that I need meds.
