What are signs of bipolar disorder?
I think I might have some kind of it. It might not be as extreme as some, but I definitely have drastic personality changes very often.

Bipolar 1, also known as "Classic Bipolar", is drastic mood swings between euphoria or dysphoria (mania) and depression.
Bipolar 2 is a lesser extreme swing on the mania half, when the person has hypomania, rather than full blown mania. However, the depression is very extreme.
Mental illness can also vary in extremes. I have a "severe" case of OCD. Other people have light or moderate OCD. Same goes for any illness. You may have a mild case of bipolar. If you don't get real hyperactive or irritable, you may have a lighter case of bipolar 2. Best thing to do is read up and see a professional.

What I've learned in class is that it is going from extreme lows, as in deep depression and sadness , to extreme highs, such as the world is great and you love everything.
