I was interested in looking into the role 'irritability' plays in bipolar disorder and its diagnosis. Most of what I ended up finding was in the context of 'over-diagnosis', but in any case, these articles address the symptoms/experience of irritability in bipolar in different ways -so for anyone interested:

Is Bipolar Disorder Overdiagnosed in Adults? | Bipolar Beat | Candida Fink, MD | Bipolar Beat

Some interesting points, by a psychiatrist:

You Are Not Your Illness, and the Over-Diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder - moodtraining.com

The irritability issues is a couple of pages in:
