Don't know, but...: Without having professionally evaluated a person it's impossible to say what underlies their behaviors. Your psychiatrist or therapist can best answer your question. A persistent (due to personality) / transient (e.g., d/t psychosis or mania) tendency to blame others combined with reduced impulse control (e.g., d/t psychosis/ mania/ intoxication) could be one way a good person cud become violent.

Your conditions : With antisocial personality disorder you have little to no conscience. Add/adhd causes impulsivity, psychosis distorts reality, and bipolar disorder adds rage and aggression as well as an increase in goal directed behavior. This is a dangerous combination. Take your medication faithfully for your own sake and so that you don't wind up in prison, the largest collection of bipolar disorder patients in the country.
