That’s more Boderline Personality Disorder (BPD). That very basically means their emotional states are usually at an extreme no matter what the mood is. Bipolar is a general shift of mood, and BPD means about every emotion becomes their current state of being.
Of course I’m really simplifying it, but… well, not a psych.

My understanding is that bipolar people are swinging between depression and a manic state. Also these state last usually several days. My mother has a bunch of other symptoms of NPD, not just that one.

Oh, i see. I thought it was a more sudden, on the spot shift.
