BIPOLAR IS A MOOD DISORDER

It makes a person moody. Bipolar is caused by imbalanced brain chemistry. It is very treatable. There are three levels of bipolar. Some people have it much worse than others.

NARCISSISM IS A PERSONALITY DISORDER

Narcissism makes someone emotionally abusive and self-centered. Narcissism is not treatable. Narcissists blame and manipulate constantly, and lie all the time. Mental health professionals advise LEAVING narcissists, because they will never be able to change their abusive ways - it's hard wired into their brain to not care. They are selfish, fly into rages if you question them, and must get their way.

The accepted rule of thumb would be to get a specific diagnoses from a professional. However bear in mind this could take decades to accomplish. Narcissists are notorious for evading a proper diagnoses and have fooled many a profesional into beleiving its their spouse that has the problem not them. You would be in too deep to do anything about it by the time she is diagnosed.

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder where people have a huge sense of self importance and a deep need for admiration. It is common for them to believe they are superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

Bipolar on the other hand is an illness in which people go back and forth from extreme highs and extreme lows. This manic depression is like a rollercoaster with constant ups and downs.
