I am sorry you have residual damage.
I have heard of certain street drugs causing/triggering bipolar conditions via either neuronal damage and/or via simply "kindling" the brain. We also hear of excessive alcohol causing brain cell issues. Certainly alcoholic encephalopathy caused by cirrhosis ( liver) can cause major brain problems.
Cocaine and other drugs can also cause major issues. Some docs/scientists swear THC also creates a "kindling" effect in the brain.
(I am sure some pharmaceutical meds probably also contribute, as do some excitoxins, such as MSG and others. )
Sounds like you have had chemical/toxin exposures and concussions.
We can be at least somewhat hopeful as scientists learn more about neuroplasticity.
