type II!.


Bipolar I

In Bipolar I disorder, an individual has experienced one or more manic episodes with or without major depressive episodes!. For a diagnosis of Bipolar I disorder according to the DSM-IV-TR, there requires one or more manic or mixed episodes!. A depressive episode is not required for the diagnosis of Bipolar I disorder but it frequently occurs!.

Bipolar II

Bipolar II disorder is characterized by hypomanic episodes as well as at least one major depressive episode!. Hypomanic episodes do not go to the extremes of mania (i!.e!. do not cause social or occupational impairment, and without psychosis), and this can make Bipolar II more difficult to diagnose, since the hypomanic episodes may simply appear as a period of successful high productivity and is reported less frequently than a distressing depression!. For both disorders, there are a number of specifiers that indicate the presentation and course of the disorder, including "chronic", "rapid cycling", "catatonic" and "melancholic"Www@Answer-Health@Com
