"I think that Cindy Sheehan might be bipolar (manic-depressive)..."

I'm am not a psychologist (just a hobby for me)

I'm not a psycholigist either (but I play one online). I have also made a diagnosis:

Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy

FACTITIOUS DISORDER, (of which MUNCHAUSEN SYNDROME is a sub-type), (also called "Adult Munchausen", and "Adult Factitious Disorder") is a formal, DSM-IV mental health diagnosis in which people deliberately exaggerate and/or fabricate and/or induce physical and/or psychological-behavioral-mental health problems in themselves. The primary purpose of this behavior is to gain some form of internal gratification, such as attention, for themselves.

Scary and soul-less behavior.

Agreed. I have felt it is Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome since day one. The strongest evidence is that she can not be swayed from her stance that Casey has been wronged, even for a minute.

Bipolar disorder has a very different face, and depression would have her out of the public eye for days at a time.

"MUNCHAUSEN BY PROXY (MBP) (also called Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome, and Factitious Disorder by Proxy) is a label for a pattern of behavior in which caretakers deliberately exaggerate and/or fabricate and/or induce physical and/or psychological-behavioral-mental health problems in others.

This pattern of behavior constitutes a separate kind of maltreatment (abuse/neglect) that manifests as physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, memory abuse or a combination. The primary purpose of this behavior is to gain some form of internal gratification, such as attention, for the perpetrator. "
