same bipolar

Can a person really have OCD / bipolar, at the same time?
I know I have OCD, but was hospitalized more than once for other reasons. I anxiety was horrible, probably the worst that can and flucuations mood, then my doctor tried all these drugs did not work. Finally lithium was tried as a huge cloud had lifted and my anxiety was almost gone. He later told me it could be that I'm bipolar. Can someone be both??? OCD and Bipolar?
I have this wonderful combination. I also have ADD. There are many diseases Combonations mental. BP and OCD is very common and a real pain in the @ ss! As I write this for you should be working, but I'm away from obbseive & #% # Yahoo Answers. My children tease me about not being able to eat on paper plates, lining stuff up, etc. At the same time, not only obsess about these things when forced to me (ie the Church of barbecue), but then I get depressed then someone pushes too hard to change that and I feel bad … There you go, OCD and BP in concert
