Bipolar II is a less severe form of bipolar I disorder. Rather than full-blown mania, sufferers experience hypomania, a low-grade form of hyperactivity. http://mental.healthguru.com/

  • i wish she was my pdoc. So hot!! bet shes jewish.

  • How did I get from hockey hits to this? O.o

  • bipolar 2 is referred to as mild bipolar because people don't usually go off and fuck up their lives while hypomanic. hypomanics can usually still function. when someone's manic they can wreak all sorts of havoc in their lives and hallucinate. the mild nickname is NOT in reference to severity of depression. it's in reference to the mania. hypo means under/beneath. hence. hypomania = beneath mania. a low grade form of hyperactivity seems to be a poor definition of hypomania

  • @storegutt13 probably. if you get put on meds I'd recommend abilify. It's damn expensive though. if you live outside of america tho it will be cheaper. my mood swings sound like yours. I've been on a lot of SSRI's and an SNRI but they didn't improve my mood. Abilify worked wonders tho. It works fast too. it's not perfect but, it's something. good luck.

  • @1l0vepanda if it's been years since your last mood swing then probably not. If the mood swings do come back though I would see a doctor about it.

  • what she says in 0:44 I have all those except the last one. Am I bipolar then, I've read in my mums nurse psychology book and as far as I've noticed about myself I have a rapid cycling pattern with deep depression mostly. I've been fine for about some hours now and I got back to start a few days ago after being happy for 2 weeks. Can some1 help me? Afraid and hate humanity

  • What a load of cack. I sent over 20yrs with sypmtons worse than described before i was recently diagnosed as BP2 (aged 44). There is no mention of the mixed episodes which personally i found to be the most distressing and confusing . Cyclothimia is the mild version of bp. This is what it sounds like this lady is describing.

  • Im bipolar and if anyone would like to talk to me about your bipolar experience you can come chat with me on Mapofmates. My username is express1 :)
