Additionally, a severe apathy toward daily activities will be experienced along with at least three of the following signs:
If depression is the low point on the bipolar rollercoaster, then mania is the high point. Mania is often stereotyped as a happy high, and many people experience it as such. However, mania can also be a frenetic irritation. Whether mania is euphoria or irritation, it is often a scary, harmful phase. The DSM-5 describes in more detail:
Bipolar disorder is a broad diagnosis with many sub-categories of the illness. One example is bipolar II. When people experience bipolar II, they may experience a more intense swing to depression. Then, they swing back to hypomania instead of full mania. It is critical that people who have or think they may have a form of bipolar disorder to work closely with a therapist who can make a proper diagnosis.
