These are minimum duration times. The episodes can last longer.

Just want to say thank you Dr. Marks. I am a Warrior!

You should talk about that ADHD and bipolar, have identical symptoms and are completely different

[allinaday]

Wow! I had never heard there was a time constraint on either of the 2 polars. Thanks. That information narrows down the identity of the diagnosis. G0 Dr.Marks.

That's pretty spot on. My severe severe depression never lasts more than 2 weeks, although I can remain depressed for longer but it's not debilitating. My hypomania lasts for about 3-4 days.

[Catlily]

Those are minimum lengths necessary for each mood state, right?

Bipolar type Ii here. Your book helped me understand my condition!

[rashid_monochromerain]

I really always felt I have this thing from a very long time but I still didn't do anything about it...

[sallyregoord]

Both mania and depression can last last for months!!

"Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition marked by intense mood changes. People with the illness switch back and forth from mania or hypomania (an emotional state of being energetic and gleeful or sometimes aggressive or delusional) to having episodes of depression." by google

Question, ,
I would really like to know what mania/ hypo mania looks like??
Me, , 53 longtime MDD and C-ptsd and Anxiety. These conditions have had lots of therapy hours over the past decade years. Past 3 years have been a total disaster of loss. Now I am presenting with maybe Borderline Personality Disorder & Bipolar 2

Lithium is a medication for this and Kurt Cobain(RIP)had this disorder. He named the song after the medication. He later killed himself in 1994 because of this disorder. Rest in peace king we miss you.
