NOTE

Bipolar One, Bipolar Two, and Psychiatric Anxiety Disorder

Bipolar disorder comprises three primary types: Bipolar One, Bipolar Two, and Cyclothymia, with specific criteria for each. Bipolar One is diagnosed when an individual has a history of at least one manic episode lasting a minimum of seven days, although hospitalization can impact the duration. Bipolar Two involves at least one hypomanic episode lasting at least four days and is characterized by the presence of major depression, distinguishing it from Bipolar One. This understanding shifts away from viewing Bipolar Two as a milder version, as the accompanying depression can be profoundly debilitating, resulting in serious consequences, including a higher risk of suicide. Profound mood extremes define these disorders, leading to uncharacteristic behaviors that can have significant life impacts.
