It's debatable--maybe often is. Which things are just aspects of bipolar? I thought I had OCD, and so did the psych, but when he finally came up with the bipolar diagnosis and gave me Lamictal, now generic lamotrigine, it knocked the OCD thoughts almost entirely out. I've since read that sometimes that's all the OCD stuff is, in bipolar people, just kind of a side effect of bipolar.

Same with the anxiety, which I have plenty of.
