Hello It looks like your mother has additional issues. Bipolar disorder has two phases mania and depression. If she's having low appetite and losing confidence, it might imply that she is having depression phase. So for proper diagnosis and treatment, detailed history is needed and so you need to consult a psychiatrist. Thanks
