Yes that is generally considered a form of bipolar. However, that doesn't mean it is really just a subtype; different forms of bipolar are very different beasts, just like different anxiety disorders are very different. Honestly i'm not sure the label 'bipolar' is really helpful for understanding what is going on. Unfortunately there has not been very much research on the 'newer' bipolar types, compared to traditional Bipolar, so how it affects treatment options is mostly based on clinical experience and lore. What mood stabilizers and adhd meds have you tried?
