Can OCD ever be mistaken for mania? I've been diagnosed bipolar 2 then bipolar 1.
But I've read about some types of OCD where you obsess about things over and over in your head and your mind goes very fast full of different thoughts. I seen a video on YouTube where a guy was recreating his OCD and it seemed like what mania was to me. Although not the inflated self esteem and mood. But I've had periods of racing thoughts without feeling good.. Does this count as mania or could it be OCD?
Just wondering if there are similarities? I could be wrong any advice is great 😊
