> If you had developed those symtpoms after drinking heavily, it could have been just a temporary bipolar. People get misdiagnosed Bipolar I after long-term substance abuse, when it is a common occurence to have those symptoms after quitting. It's your mind not being able to handle all the emotions previously hidden by alcohol or drugs; if you let them emerge slowly, you might end up not being bipolar after all.
I have seen this happen numerous times with MICA (mentally ill chemical abuser) patients.
