Hello,
The symptoms mentioned by you look like that of bipolar disorder.
There are two phases which can be seen in this disorder- depressive and manic.
in depressive phase pt. Generally speaks less, is lethargic, eats less,may be is irritable, but is not inclined to do any work ...n may even skip daily routine activity.
Manic phase is characterised by - hyper activity, increased desire to work, aggerssion,voilence, increased beauty concerns and may be increased sexual desire.
To start any meds physical status anyother comorbidity,age and family history of the person should be known. So, you should talk to a psychiatrist regarding her symptoms and start druugs. She will show very good result with proper medicines.
wish you good luck.
