Hi
Yelling and lack of concentration does not mean you have bi-polar disorder.
You should see a psychologist to determine your symptoms and he or she will run tests as needed.
Lack of concentration could be Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD or Asperger Syndrome( a High Functioning form of autism.)

there are several types of bi-polar disorders but the most common one is when someone fluctuates between a depressive state and a manic state. Usually someone will be depressed but have a time frame where they are manic.

If your concern is yelling a lot, maybe you are intermittent explosive disorder?

Do you have uncontrollable mood swings just out of the blue. Like one min. you might be laughing and the next screaming at someone, and then depressed or something. Those are the symptoms of the disorder. The not being able to concentrate might have to do with ADD (attention deficit disorder) or ADHD (attention deficit hyper disorder) my son has ADHD and he has to take medication for it.
