Bipolar: Is mainly manifested in large mood swings, depression and mania (high energy). Borderline personality can also have mood swings but a major factor is his/her difficulty with relationships. This can be rooted in being suspicious, jealous, or lack of self esteem. A mental health professional can help. Peace and good health.
