Is it possible to have "mild" bipolar disorder or have the disorder with some of the symptoms and not others? My husband sometimes has some of the symptoms of mania (irritability, anger, volatility, talkative, overspending money, compulsion with sex) and some of depression (moodiness, negativity, sleeping a lot). Sometimes he has them all at the same time or quickly goes back and forth. I alway know when he is super sweet and happy that the fall is about to come. How do you know if someone is bipolar or just very "moody" or volatile? Most of the time he is very sweet and friendly, but he can change his mood in an instant and say and do things he later regrets. He says he's just an @$$ - he would rather believe he is a mean or bad person than that he has a mental illness.
