all true and for me, one of the keys to a diagnosis of bipolar over ADD are the EMOTIONAL swings, not mental problems. bipolar disorder is classified as a mood disorder which is why when someone is on an "up" we see a lot of giddiness, silliness, laughing, ecstatic excited moods REGARDLESS of what their thoughts are and when they cycle down we see depression, hopelessness, bleak outlook, crying unhappiness, despondency no matter waht they are thinking
