  Reading a list of symptoms on the internet and recognising some of them as universal does not make for a diagnosis Colin. I have worked with vulnerable people for decades and have witnessed the havoc bipolar can wreak when it is not managed or controlled. Experiencing occassional depressive symptoms or being a bit excitable at times is nothing even near to the reality of bipolar, and before we leap in to condemn a man for having symptoms we should stop and consider realities. I totally support your condemnation for drug traffickers - I have also seen the havoc drugs can cause: I have a special nightmare (among many) that returns at tired times, of a young man I worked with whose own father had given him his first experience of smack, a young man genuinely desperate to stay clean but battling odds far above his capabilities, whose face reminded me of my own son who was a similar age at the time. I could personally rip the throat out of anyone offering/peddling/pushing/dealing drugs to the vulnerable. But I recognise that some of them are themselves victims - we need to break into the cycle of dependence, not break the victims of it.
