Should i focus on the diagnosis or the symptoms?

Hi guys. Hope you are fine today. I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar 2 Disorder.I have a history of major depression but i wasn't diagnosed until after i had a hypomanic episode.Some people's experiences of hypomania can be quite positive.With some experiencing high functioning behaviour and increased productivity and creativity.However my hypomanic phase was a very negative experience.It was characterised by uncontrollable racing thoughts, insomnia,dysphoria(extreme agitation and irritability), full blown rages,excess energy, hypersexuality and excessive spending.I am now on Lithium and my pdoc is great.My question is should i focus on the label or the symptoms?
