In all honesty, it sounds like your mom is more likely just being an *** than bipolar. Bipolar has to include lots of hyperness, nont sleeping, talkativeness, etc. It seems from what you describe that her gambling problem may've caused her irritability. Gambling and other addictions often include impulsive behavior to get what they want. I am sorry however that your mom acted this way.
