Bipolar Disorder: Understanding the Basics

Bipolar disorder is characterized by manic and depressive episodes, with different types having varying degrees of intensity:

Bipolar I Disorder: Marked by severe manic episodes that interfere with daily life. It can also involve major depressive episodes or mixed features of mania and depression.

Bipolar II Disorder: Involves major depressive episodes and hypomanic episodes (less severe than mania). These episodes typically don’t disrupt daily functioning.

Cyclothymic Disorder: Frequent shifts between hypomania and depression, with milder symptoms.
