anxiety bipolar?

there will be times I will feel good like a month to 3 months where everything is normal for me. Then I will get hit out of nowhere being sluggish, depressed some, anxiety kicks in, irritable,body kinda sore. This will last for a few days to a week or 2 and then it diminishes. I’m being psychologically tested at the moment to get a definite diagnosis. Just been told I have GAD and MDD by doctors in the past and been on Prozac 40mg for it. My question is can a bipolar disorder bring up GAD and OCD symptoms as well?

Have you been diagnosed with Biploar?

I believe I have read there is a tendency toward OCD and anxiety with bipolar. Your Dr would be the one to confirm this for you.

There is an OCD site on HU. You may want to pose your question there as well

In the process of getting a confirmed diagnosis of my mental health status. Consist of 2 days (2 hours each day) of psychiatric tests. I will look at the ocd site, thanks

I don't have that diagnosis. I wish I could be of more help to you.

Someone else may come along in here with a response but it will be good to check out the OCD site as well :)
