I suffer from neurosis, since I am now taking 11 vitamins and supplements.

Regarding the bi-polar assessment, I am holding off on obtaining any psychiatric medication.

The anger-hostility-aggression is an affect of a history of concussions.
"Affect" within this context means the history of mild traumatic brain injuries from the time I was 1 years old is most likely a -minor- factor.
A more honest assessment is that social isolation in reaction to changes in season is one factor that may lead to anger, hostility and aggression.
However, the main issue is impulse control combined with insomnia.
The solution which relieved this is medication (flexeril and gabapentin) combined with less use of computers.
