Please tell me what are signs of being bipolar?

A mood disorder: The person has periods of severe depression and periods of mania (extreme, abnormal energy or agitation/irritability-- for example, needing little sleep, racing thoughts, talking so fast that others can't follow). There may be only manic episodes (without depression). More info here: http://www.Mayoclinic.Org/diseases-conditions/bipolar-disorder/basics/definition/con-20027544.
