Most people think so: If the symptoms are mild enough to not be a problem, then it probably will not get a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. There is the term cyclothymic disorder for milder mood swings - perhaps that is what you are describing. It might be a good idea to talk with a therapist to understand the experiences you have and figure out if they are minimal, mild, moderate or severe. Then you'll have your answer.

Bipolar: Bipolar I and bipolar II, In the first, manic phases are more severe, and in the second, depressive phases are more severe. There is also cyclothymia which is a low grade version of bipolar disorder in general, where mood swings are not as severe in either direction, manic or depressive. Bipolar DO is very much a problem. GET YOURSELF EVALUATED BY A PSYCHIATRIST IMMEDIATELY.
