Bipolarity is an extraordinarily complex diagnosis to make. It’s always better to have an expert help you with it. In general, there is a very, very, very high energy state and a very, very low energy state. The depression portion is important, but the hallmark of bipolar disorder is the high energy state. This generally includes Rapid speech, rapid movement, rapid thought, less need to sleep, and sometimes may border on grandiosity and even psychosis in certain individuals with certain kinds of bipolar disorder. Always best to consult an expert.
