hi dear,
bipolar disorder diagnosis is not by just reading on internet and by people tell you like that.
for diagnosis of bipolar disorder certain symptoms like high talk, talkativeness, excessive expenditure, pressured speech,
flight of ideas, restlessness, distracted, hyper religiosity etc and among those four or more than that last for 1 week duration with interference with social, personal, occupational work.
such condition not caused by medication use or alcohol intake.
as people sometimes very happy and sometimes very depressed and that is due to certain situation.
so not to worry
if doubt consult psychiatric.
Thank you
