Is my 2 year old Bipolar?

Okay here's the thing, my 2 year old daughter is very very smart for her age, she just turned 2 in august, but she is soo bad and i exaggerate the word bad. She can be very moody but can change from cryin to laughin in .5 seconds, she is constantly moving, and i mean constantly, as in never sitting still except to use the bathroom, and to go to sleep, when she gets mad or upset, she throws things, she smacks things, knocks thing off the table, smacks herself and now she bites on her arm, I dont know what to do anymore because discipline doesnt seem to be the answer anymore please help

i belong to a yahoo group that is for people who are bipolar, or the parents of bipolar persons.  many people on this group are the parent of 1 or more bipolar children.  I'd seek them out and ask their experience, but I DEFINITELY think you need to try to get your daughter some psychiatric help one way or another!!  The name of the yahoo group is Bipolar Parents.  Good Luck!!

That really doesn't sound like bipolar and its incredibly rare for it to start at that age. Best to take her to a child psychologist as behavioral therapy that is constructive is usually helpful. There is also a specific forum for that.
