How do i know if i have mild bipolar or just very strong emotions?

That is not always : So easily figured out. The best way is through a very thorough psychiatric evaluation. There is a bipolar spectrum with cyclothymia at the low end to bipolar i disorder on the other extreme. When a person has bipolar disorder it normally causes them problems in their life. Take care.

Cyclothymia: Cyclothymia can be thought of as a low grade version of bipolar disorder. That is to say, cyclothymics do experience similar mood swings, but not to the intensity of those experienced by those suffering from bipolar disorder. A psychiatric evaluation is in order with appropriate mood stabilizing meds as needed and a referral to a reputable psychotherapist who specializes in mood disorders.
