If your bi-polar than chances are pills do work for that. If you were in the hospital and they had to restrain you from moving and tried to sedate you than probably their doing what's best for you. Pills aren't the best thing for people sometime therapy is.

Diagnosing a mental health disorder is done through observation and discussion. Part of the observation could have been done by the nurses who report what they observe to the doctor/psychiatrist.
You said they took you down stairs and asked you if anything was wrong with you. It is possible you were asked other questions at this time and it was the doctor asking the questions. Based on your answers and the observations made by the nursing staff the doctor would make a diagnoses and prescribe medication.
If you have been prescribed medication you should be taking it as it is expected the medication will help you. You also should have been set up with appointments to see a psychiatrist or psychologist outside the hospital to monitor you and see if the medications are working.
Check the discharge papers to see if appointments with a doctor or therapist have been made for you. If so make sure to see the doctors when the appointments are made for. This is the time you can ask the doctor to explain to you what is going on.
It is very important that you take the medications as prescribed and see the doctors as scheduled. Failure to follow these instructions could have you going back into the hospital.

A psychiatrist at a hospital is supposed to hold you 72 hours to evaluate and diagnose. The thing is that he/she already did by observing you closely as did the nurses and coming up with diagnosis and treatment.
The thing is you were likely not together when they did. The medication is what you are supposed to be on and while in hospital they can administer it by having you take it or they can inject it. This medication is meant to make you well and nothing else.
What you must do is call the doctor and explain although you were in the hospital twice you have no idea why and or what for. You need to know this as it's critical to you moving forward and being 100% well. Definitely learn from them what's going on.
