Answers:
This is a very hard question to answer but I will try my best!.
I don't know if your girlfriend is bipolar, but I think we have the similar problem (You and me)!.
My girlfriend also have mood swings, she constantly gets mad, upset and sometimes she really scares me when shes angry, and I've asked her sister and she told me that its normal!. Its just that shes going through her PMS and that I should be more supportive, I am!.!. but sometimes she gets angry for weeks and I thought shes bipolar!.!. I am not sure if is or not, but I've been there for her!.!. to her moody self and her happy self, shes now less moody than before, I think you just have to be there for her!.!.!. like when shes moody try to hug her, try to make her happy like tell her jokes, but try to not make her angry cause sometimes certain jokes can make her even more angry (took me a lot of attempts, I've failed many times too but by the end of the day my girlfriend was very different, she was calm and less moody)
Well!.!. which girl has their own way to feel happy when they're mad at someone or something like they sometimes go talk to their girlfriends, hang out with friends, be with their boyfriends or do something like read, listen to music, eat something she likes!.!. you just have to find out what are her favorite things to do and try to do it with her, that could be a big boost!.
My girlfriend likes marshmallow and being with me (thats what her sister told me) so when shes moody, I usually buy a bag of marshmallow and we eat together, we talk about things, and I try to tell her jokes and sometimes I chat with her and we play online games and it always helps her (I always let her win in the games we play lol thats because she sometimes she scares me when shes angry haha and I don't want to make her even more mad and I don't mind losing if its to make her smile, because whenever she wins she always shes happy)

So find your way to get to know your girlfriend more! (Best ways is through her best friends and siblings if she have any)

Definite signs are mood swings, periods of happiness followed by a period of depression, lack of interest in past activities, irritability, possible suicidal ideations!.!.!.!.

Bipolar disorder has to be diagnosed and general depression ruled out according to the DSM-IV which is based on symptoms and the amount of time the person has experienced them!.

She really should seek some counsel and talk with someone!. Bipolarism can become very serious!. It is not a treat at home issue!. It's one of those things that could get progressively worse depending upon how long she has been dealing with this!.

A psychologist/psychiatrist will be able to help her sort through this and figure out whether she is just experiencing depression as a result of disappointment with life, repressed feelings, etc!. or whether she truly is bipolar!.

Constantly be encouraging to her and maybe even help her find someone to speak to with her permission!. If money/insurance is an issue!.!.!.there may be a free service out there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

mood swings don't always mean bipolar,
to be bipolar, first of all your need to be diagnosed but to be considered bipolar you need to show signs of major mood swings without cause!. mine have ranged from suicidal, quiet and dreading the thought of going out with friends to giggling for hours with no reason and being so hyper and spontaneous i loose almost all judgment skill and inhibitions, and talk constantly at a billion words a minute
if she really thinks she may be bipolar she should see a doctor about medication and treatmentWww@Answer-Health@Com

well everyone has mood swings but bipolar is extreme mood swings between happy and upset!. from what you said she may have it, she needs to go to a doctor and he will probably give her meds and she will be fine!. just be there for her and you will have nothing to worry about

You're = you are

"she thinks she bipolar"!.!.!. wow

And that
"a lot" is the correct way to spell it

And that
she gets upset _easily_

doesn't, not doesnt

And can you get upset over _like_ nothing!?

And PLEASE DON'T SHOUT AT ME!Www@Answer-Health@Com

She needs to go to a psychiatrist for an evaluation!. If she is suicidal, she should go to the ER for help!. It's much better to go asking for help than after attempting something drastic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think Bipolar disorder is a lot more complicated than that, it involves episodes of mania alternating with episodes of depression!. Just because ur girlfriend has mood swings doesn't mean she's bipolarWww@Answer-Health@Com

Your girlfriend isn't bipolar!. Bipolar is more than mood swings!. If she had a serious mental disorder like that, believe me, it would be obvious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

first you have to convinced her to consult a physician and it may also help if you will show her your love and support no matter what she was going through!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
