As someone whose dad is Bipolar, I don't like how it works that much. He doesn't switch back and forth that readily. Typically the moods last for much longer. Also they can have periods of time where they aren't really manic or depressive. Finally, it's pretty common for manic people to experience bouts of Compulsive Spending. My dad gets that although he's trained himself so to speak to spend on cheaper things, specifically toy cars and model cars.
