Introduction to Bipolar Disorder​

Living with a mental illness can have multiple challenges; Bipolar Disorder is no exception to this. There are three different Bipolar Disorders, all of which have similarities and differences. The key component they each have is a pattern of ups and downs. While they each look different, all three can significantly impact your life.

There are three Bipolar Disorders. Bipolar I is described as having at least one manic and one depressive episode. Bipolar II is known for having at least one hypomanic episode and one depressive episode, with no history of manic episodes. Cyclothymic disorder is what we call it when someone has been struggling with hypomanic and depressive symptoms for at least two years without ever meeting the full criteria for Bipolar II.

Understanding Bipolar Episodes

To understand the differences between Bipolar I, Bipolar II, and Cyclothymic Disorder, you first need to understand mania, hypomania, and depressive episodes.

Manic episodes can make you feel euphoric or irritable. These episodes last for at least one week, sometimes longer. Individuals in a manic episode will feel like they have more energy and can get more done. They only need a few hours of sleep to feel rested. Other symptoms that they may experience include high self-esteem, being talkative, racing thoughts, restlessness, and being distracted easily. One symptom to pay attention to is engaging in high-risk behaviors. These oftentimes have the potential to be dangerous—for example, unsafe sex, driving fast, and high stake gambling. Manic episodes will have a noticeable impact on your life and level of functioning. Individuals with manic episodes that are unmedicated usually need to be treated by a medical professional to ensure they are not a danger to themselves.

Hypomanic episodes are similar to manic episodes but not as extreme. These episodes last for a minimum of 4 days. These individuals will feel really good or irritable as well and will have a notable increase in their energy. They too may have elevated self-esteem, decrease the need for sleep, be more talkative than normal, experience racing thoughts, get distracted easily, and feel restless. These folks will likely engage in high-risk behaviors as well. Individuals in hypomanic episodes do not always have to be hospitalized to address their symptoms. Hypomanic episodes may not be as obvious to others around you because the symptoms may appear milder.

The third component of Bipolar Disorder would be depressive episodes. Depressive episodes can occur with a variety of mental health concerns, and the symptoms will look similar in each situation. Depressive episodes require that the individual has at least five symptoms in a 2 week period. They may feel depressed or have a decreased interest in pleasure. Common symptoms during a depressive episode include weight loss or gain, insomnia or hypersomnia, psychomotor agitation, fatigue, feeling worthless or guilty, difficulty concentrating, thoughts about death, suicide, and for some, suicide attempts. These symptoms usually have a negative impact on the individual’s daily life and functioning.

There are mental health professionals who would be happy to sit down with you to help see if they can piece your experience together through a clinical lens.

When to Get Help for Bipolar Disorder ​

If you can relate to any of the symptoms discussed and are wondering if you should reach out for help, the answer is yes. The reason for this is that if you are experiencing a manic, hypomanic, or depressive episode, you will likely need to speak with a doctor about possible medications that can help you come back to a baseline.

Individuals who are experiencing a manic episode should talk to their medical care provider as soon as possible. There are several concerning symptoms, including lack of sleep and engaging in high-risk behaviors. In most situations, being evaluated at a hospital is the best option so that a professional can determine if you are at risk of harming yourself.

Similarly, individuals who are experiencing suicidal ideation during a depressive episode should reach out to their care provider. Keep in mind that passing thoughts of death are not what we are talking about. We are talking about the individuals who are thinking about frequently dying, planning suicide, and those who have the means to attempt suicide. The main goal of having someone evaluated at the hospital is to determine if they are at risk of harming themselves or others. For many, it may feel like a punishment; however, the goal is to keep you safe.

Impact Outpatient Program is a one-of-a-kind outpatient drug & alcohol treatment center that offers a path to lasting, sustainable recovery.
