Thank you for your replies
They spoke to me about it because they know about my own bipolar diagnosis and other people had commented on their behaviour.
Personally I think their mood is above a really good mood but whether it is sufficiently high enough to be clinically hypomania I don't know. I'm not a doctor.
They are sleeping less and not needing sleep but they are still sleeping more than what I would class as my own warning signs. They are talking quicker and more animated/tell more jokes etc but they don't seem to have pressured speech and content is mostly normal. So whilst these things are out of character there aren't flashing immediate alarm bells to me. However they are having some unusual thoughts like being able to control the minds of others and have a much higher self esteem and engaging in inappropriate relationships that their husband would not approve of.
So yeah there are a few things that concern me but there are also a few things that are less concerning. If I wasn't a bit hypo myself I'd probably be trusting my own judgement more!! It wouldn't be the first time I've thought something was totally fine only to come down and find it wasn't and in this case it someone else's life that would be screwed over if my judgement is wrong.
I have suggested that they see their GP but they aren't keen on this.
