Are Intrusive Thoughts A Psychiatric Or Neurological Disorder?

I have had issues with depression and have been diagnosed with bipolar NOS, but lately my brain has been going crazy with intrusive and constant odd thoughts like... What would Grover Cleveland s head look like on a horses body, cobras wearing neckties, rabbits running the senate of Portugal, zebras flying, rhinos discussing their favorite apple varieties and reindeer holding the golden girls hostage. I could go on and on, I asked my psychiatrist if it was a neurological disorder and she didn t have a clear answer. I am getting worried and actually missed work last week because the thoughts were so pervasive. Is this psychiatric or neurological?
