Bipolar II Disorder
Captions available
The idea
Bipolar II disorder involves at least one hypomanic episode and at least one major depressive episode, without a full manic episode.
In practice
Elevated periods are noticeable to others and do not produce the impairment a manic episode requires.
Where people slip
Bipolar II is not a milder version overall. Its depressive burden is often greater.
