I am beginning to think my mum is Bipolar?

SazSarsh

Hi,
I have learned a little bit about bipolar from reading an article in a magazine and it got me interested so I researched it more.
I always thought it was normal but I'm starting to think it could be something more than that.
My mum for as long as I Know sings all the time. She is not by any means a professional singer so it can be quite difficult if trying to study and she won't shut up!!!
It's not usually songs she sings and if it is it's always the same line over and over again. She will sing a line of a song. Stop for 10 seconds and sing the same line again and this could go on for hours and hours until someone else starts talking or if she is watching tv. And then she sings things like "we are having soup for dinner, soup for dinner, soup for dinner".
As I am typing this I am laughing because it's so silly but yet I cannot help thinking it's not normal for a woman in her mid 50s. She can be neutral at times but usually it's either singing or feeling sad/tired as she spends a lot of time sleeping on the sofa . She has a history of postnatal depression as far as I remember her saying.

Opinions please

We cannot diagnose people over the internet, nor do psychologists generally diagnose.

You would need a clinical psychologist or doctor to help diagnose OP.
