Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Mood swing is part of bipolar disorder, but on basis on only mood swing, psychiatrist can not diagnose bipolar. If you have another symptoms like sleep disturbance, increased psychomotor activity, grandiosity etc, than you can have bipolar disorder. Better to consult a psychiatrist and get your mental status done. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
