I do not believe that people who act abnormally should be diagnosed with a psychological disorder. Not right away, at least. Sometimes those who act abnormal do have psychological disorders but others who act abnormal just act abnormal. Some time people try to act like they have a disorder just for attention. Just because you act the way you do, doesn't mean you have a psychological disorder.
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder in which the person alternates between the hopelessness and lethargy of depression and the overexciting state of mania. This disorder was once called manic depressive disorder. During the manic phase, the person is typically over talkative, overactive, and elated. They have little need for sleep and show fewer sexual inhibitions. During the depressive phase the person feels useless and sad. They do not feel the sense of life or the need to be there. I believe that bipolar disorder wouldn't be as bad to live with as some people make it seem. I would have my ups and downs but I wouldn't have to worry about multiple personalities or the antisocial serial killer problem.
I found it very interesting to learn about the different psychological disorders there are. I am glad that I got to learn more about bipolar disorder. This also gave my friends an opportunity to learn about, so now they can stop calling me bipolar whenever I have a "bad" day and then have a "good" day. If I truly had bipolar disorder my "bad" day would last a much longer period as well as my "good" days.

Not everyone with antisocial personality disorder are serial killers, they just have a higher tendencies to kill or harm someone. You never were bipolar, I can see that everyone can have a really good day and a really bad day right after each other.
