Hi .. thank you for sharing your query
I can understand your issue , so bipolar disorder , in which cyclically mood changes happens , sometimes patients became so cheerful ,assumes they are on top of the world , sometimes became depressed
Shock treatment is not necessary in all case , if patient is not taking medicine regularly ,poor response to Medication or quick response if desirable then we can go for shock therapy
For further assessment n evaluation need to consult Psychiatrist
