How is an OCD compulsive shopper compared to a Bipolar person in the MANIC stage spending lots of money?
I mean, if they’re both the same symptoms to 2 completely different mental disorders, then why do doctors wanna call you both? If you show you have OCD already, & you spend because you feel like you gotta have this & that JUST in case because you’d rather be safe than sorry, then why do they wanna call you Bipolar, as well? If excessive spending is one of your compulsions, then why do they try to say you’re Bipolar, too? Why can’t doctors leave well enough alone? & why does EVERY patient have to be considered Bipolar these days?

OCD and Bipolar are not the same, bipolar have symptons of mania and it feels very good and do things that makea person feel even better,like shopping for things they don’t need, but that feeling soon goes the other way and they can’t do a thing , they can not get out of bed for several days, so bipolar goes back and forth, OCD is constant.
OCD and Bipolar are very different. OCD shopper cant stop buying. Bipolar people get stuck in the store for hours because they can’t make up their mind. a compulsive shopper will leave a store with lots of stuff they don’t need or cant afford while a bipolar person may spend all day in a store after either forgetting why they are there or not being able to reach a decision sometimes just to leave with nothing.
I don’t agree that OCD and bipolar are the same in the context that you explained. An OCD person, whose OCD is shopping will want to shop all the time. Whereas a bipolar person that is in the manic mode will only want to shop while he or she is in that particular mode. At the other end of the spectrum he or she might just want to stay in bed and hide under the covers. So OCD and bipolar are NOT the same affliction.
