 Bipolar is a mental illness marked by extreme mood swings. Sometimes, it could be from high to low which is called mania and at other times, it could be from low to high which is called depression. Sometimes, it could be mixed, you'd feel elated and depressed at the same time. I have a friend who is bipolar, actually, she told me that she was but I knew something was wrong even before she told me about it. Here are some tips to test if someone is bipolar.

• Feeling extremely happy or sad for no just reason: Bipolars tend to have this feeling of excessive happiness or extreme sadness. They can be so happy and wouldn't even be able to place why they are. They can also be so depressed, sad and feeling hopeless.
• Extreme Anger: When someone is bipolar, they can do anything when they are angry. They also get angry easily, slight issues can surprisingly provoke them. 
• They behave unlikely: You understand them one minute and the next, you are confused as to who they really are. It is almost difficult to understand a bipolar, this minute, they are all goofy and playful, the next, it seems like they want to kill you. lol
• Bipolars are prone to thinking of committing suicide. 
• They have problems with memory. They do not easily remember things, they have concentration problems and they sometimes have decision making problems.

Naturally, it is almost really difficult to detect that someone is bipolar except some medical tests have been carried out on him/her but these few signs could be able to tell if someone does have. Although, you may have all these and not be bipolar too anyway.
