Hi every body

My sister was diagnosed with Bi Polar about 3 years ago. I have always had a small problem believing this as she has always lied to get sympathy. She lives something like 150 miles away. I accept that she is depressed, she had an abusive relationship before she left for Leeds.

I have never really had a brilliant relationship with her cos she spent most of the time winding me up. She used to have really bad migraines and also used to suffer really bad hay fever. If I so much as sniffed or coughed I was told off.

I don't really see much of her because she always takes anything I say personally.

My question I suppose is, How do you tell whether someone has BP? She has never talked to me about it.

I don't think that knowing for definite will change my relationship with her because we are talking 20+ years of torment from her.
