Answer by Becka MorganBipolar depression is only half of Bipolar disorder… the other half is mania. Without mania it is not Bipolar. Bipolar moods last for weeks or months and only change 2 or 3 times a year…. other causes of mood swings are hormones, stress, lack of sleep, hypothyroidism, and a dozen other physical causes.
Everyone has moods like those of Bipolar Disorder……. because everyone has mood swings, momentary loss of judgment, likes to go shopping, likes sex, feels down sometimes, gets angry now and then and is hyper on occasion. The difference is that all of these symptoms in Bipolar are so intense that they interfere with your ability to function. Think of a pole (biPOLEr) with 0 at the center (0 being normal) and 10 at one end (manic) and -10 at the other (deep depression). Most . . . → Read More: What are the symptoms of bipolar depression?

An individual diagnosed with bipolar disorder will experience periods, or episodes of depression or mania. At times the individual may experience both during the same episode that include extreme swings in moods that vary from overwhelming joy and excitement to complete despair.
These attacks or episodes may last a few days, a week or more or for months. And it is possible for the individual to have bipolar disorder and still not experience depression. If left untreated, episodes that include manic behavior often build to a severity during which the individual simply cannot function.
The most frequent symptoms exhibited by an afflicted individual include their being agitated, irritable, angry or restless. The individual may talk rapidly and may have uncontrollable thoughts. The bipolar personality is easily distracted and seems to be unable to concentrate on a single activity.
The afflicted individual often exhibits an overly confident attitude coupled with an all-powerful feeling. Insomnia is often associated with this malady and the individual may go for days without sleep and then will sleep for extended periods-two, three or four days at a time.

(The use of gender pronouns in this article reflects the clinical facts: most narcissists are men.)The manic phase of Bipolar I Disorder is often misdiagnosed as Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).Bipolar patients in the manic phase exhibit many of the signs and symptoms of pathological narcissism – hyperactivity, self-centeredness, lack of empathy, and control freakery. During this recurring chapter of the disease, the patient is euphoric, has grandiose fantasies, spins unrealistic schemes, and has frequent rage attacks (is irritable) if her or his wishes and plans are (inevitably) frustrated.The manic phases of the bipolar disorder, however, are limited in time – NPD is not. Furthermore, the mania is followed by – usually protracted – depressive episodes. The narcissist is also frequently dysphoric. But whereas the bipolar sinks into deep self-deprecation, self-devaluation, unbounded pessimism, all-pervasive guilt and anhedonia – the narcissist, even when depressed, never forgoes his narcissism: his grandiosity, sense of entitlement, haughtiness, and lack of empathy.Narcissistic dysphorias are much shorter and reactive – they constitute a response to the Grandiosity Gap. In plain words, the narcissist is dejected when confronted with the abyss between his inflated self-image and grandiose fantasies – and the drab reality of his life: his failures, lack of accomplishments, disintegrating interpersonal relationships, and low status. Yet, one dose of Narcissistic Supply is enough . . . → Read More: Misdiagnosing Narcissism – The Bipolar I Disorder
