Can there be ever a physical/neurological reason for having bi-polar disorder?

If wrong diagnosis: The diagnosis of bipolar disorder is according to dsm-v is only assigned to patients when all appropriate medical and neurological conditions are excluded first. In the differential for bipolar disorder are classic conditions that have been confused for purely psychiatric conditions. Among those conditions acute intermittent porphyria, hyperthyroidism and intracranial mass feature prominently.
