Symptoms of BIPOLAR???????
a friend of mine was diagnosed with bipolar about 1 year ago, are these some of the signs???
very depressed one min. can get very, very happy, energetic, gets up very early...2 am. cant sleep, she also. at the same time can get very moody and bitc--!! snaps at people. and the next minute, it all changes. like a light switch!!! says she cant think, to much to take in all at once.
i dont understand this, and its very hard to deal with!!!
i went to sites to find out, they give symptoms, but it dosent say this can all happen in a days time. this goes on almost all the time. she does not think she is bipolar, does not take meds.... no ins, no job. no doctor.!!! any advice???? i want to help. concerned friend..

this is the same person i am talking about. what im asking is, are these symptoms all associated with being BIPOLAR???she was diagnosed as being bipolar....
Answers:
Yes. It sounds like she has ultraidian cycling (super-fast cycles up and down, can be within hours). This form of bipolar cycling is not fully understood, and is often confused with mixed state bipolar, and borderline personality disorder.
The best thing you can do it urge her to go back to a doctor.
