Researchers have classified the different types of Bipolar Disorder. Though all subtypes of Bipolar have similar symptoms, they have different time courses and different responses to treatment. Careful treatment planning, which takes these differences into account, must be utilized. The following diagnostic sub-categories are used to determine appropriate treatment for Bipolar Disorder:
Bipolar I: A person may be diagnosed with this disorder if he or she has experienced at least one manic episode, which was accompanied by behaviors that made normal functioning impossible. Often, persons with a history of Bipolar I disorder have a history of manic episodes, which have resulted in their being hospitalized, arrested, or both.
Bipolar II: A diagnosis of Bipolar II is given when a person has moods that move from a hypomanic high to a depressive low, but do not reach the extreme of the manic scale. Although these patients may become impulsive and have unusual levels of energy, they do not exhibit some of the more extreme and/or prolonged symptoms of mania.
Rapid Cycling: This is a condition in which patients experience at least four cycles of mania and depression within the same year. Rapid cycling is evident in up to 20 percent of the patients diagnosed with a Bipolar Disorder.
Mixed Episode Bipolar Disorder: If a patient appears to be experiencing both manic and depressive symptoms at the same time, or is rapidly switching between them, they may be experiencing mixed Bipolar Disorder. These patients may be energized and excited but also experience angry and depressed thoughts and moodiness.
Cyclothymia: This is the diagnosis given to a form of Bipolar Disorder in which patients have mood shifts that fluctuate more slowly over the course of a lifetime.
