Hmmmn ... no signs of hypomania, depression or mixed episodes, just vague illusions to delusions of grandeur, but no real psychosis (which the DSM V actually claims only occurs in BP 1 anyway). To me I can see no BP2 here, or BP1 really. Bereft of more detailed information I can only conclude that he is a liar, and about having Bipolar as well. There is probably a DSMV diagnosis for him but it is not Bipolar.

P.S. This really pisses me off. Not just the guy but the lack of journalistic integrity and hard work. People with Bipolar, and mental illness in general, suffer enough stigmatisation and misrepresentation as it is.
