hi, Thanks for using HCM
In my opinion yes to a some extend bipolar does play a role. The dramatic mood swings of bipolar disorder can interfere with your ability to make good choices, particularly during a manic episode. Symptoms of depression include intense sadness, emotional indifference, fatigue, and feelings of despair, whereas mania often causes restlessness, anxiety, irritability, and impulsive behavior.
In Nut shell mania and depression both affect your decision making .
