When you're bipolar...?!
Question:
When you're bipolar...?
When someone is bi-polar, is it only extreme depression and extreme feelings of anxiety? Can a person have a mild case of bi-polar, where they still have fluxuations in depression and anxiety, switching between the two every couple of days, or is bi-polar only extreme?
Answers:
there are many levels of Bi-polar, no 2 cases are the same. Some are very extreme, switching moods all the time, and very eratically. Some are more mellow and level, being a bit more happy or a bit more sad than normal for a period of time. Bi-polar 1 is the extreme which usually includes Rapid Cycling, Mania and depression, Bi-polar 2 is less extreme, more level case of Bi-polar, with severe depression and hypomania which is a less severe form of mania. And then theres also Cyclothymic Disorder, which is a very mild form of bi-polar, the cycles last a lot longer with no breaks in the symptoms.
