Bipolar disorder is categorized into several types, with three common examples being:
-
Bipolar I Disorder: Characterized by at least one manic episode, which may be preceded or followed by hypomanic or major depressive episodes.
-
Bipolar II Disorder: Involves at least one major depressive episode and one hypomanic episode, but no full manic episodes.
-
Cyclothymic Disorder: Features periods of hypomanic symptoms and periods of depressive symptoms lasting for at least two years (one year in children and adolescents), but the symptoms do not meet the criteria for a hypomanic or major depressive episode.
