You know a psychiatrist really cannot properly diagnose you while your using alcohol and drugs. Alcohol will cause what looks to be "bipolar disorder". I wore that label "bipolar" for several years and used it to justify my drinking - when my real problem is that I'm an alcoholic and a drug addict. 7 years 7 months sober now thank God. Go check out aa, you may find that your solution "is" your problem. After I had been sober for some time, saw a psych and they told me "your not bipolar", good grief, that's after some 25 years of meds, shrinks, docs and torture. Med free now. Grateful to be a recovered alcoholic. There's a "test" from the Big Book of AA for quitting your drinking and drugs (the Marty Mann test), see if you're an alcoholic. You might not be bipolar.

Best of luck!
