This was from a link on this board but not from this thread. The bit I've pasted follows....

>Episodic mood instability - these patients manifest lifelong episodes of mood swings starting around adolescence. The mood shifts unpredictably among several distinct mood poles: brief depressions lasting hours to one or two days, brief euphorias, brief dysphoric or irritable episodes, brief paranoid episodes, episodes of rage or intense uncontrollable anger, episodic anxiety equivalents (panic attacks, phobias or obsessive ruminations ). This multiplicity of mood options begs the very issue of bipolarity. It appears that multipolar mood disorder might be a more accurate designation for the soft bipolar spectrum.<

That sounds pretty normal to me. Not ideal. Anyone with adolescent kids should have no trouble agreeing. But not really very strange at all.
