The director, David O. Russell, has a son with bipolar disorder. I read an article awhile ago which mentioned that this influenced his work.

If you see the movie, it's pretty clear she has some kind of personality disorder. Probably BPD. She fears abandonment, makes empty threats, and is easily affected by things. The last part wouldn't be bipolar because bipolar moods aren't affected by external stuff. There were several other movies on that list (and in other categories) that were questionable...
