Mood stabilizers like Valproate, Lithium and atypical antipsychotics are the treatment of bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder sometimes complicated by psychotic symptoms might have delusions and hallucinations. Which could be mood congruent or mood incongruent. And yes, OCD and bipolar can exist together.
