The types of bipolar disorder are:

Bipolar disorder 1, which features full episodes of mania and depression, is the most serious type. Psychotic symptoms such as delusions or hallucinations are more common among people with bipolar disorder 1, and, in many cases, the condition can be diagnosed as schizophrenia.

People with bipolar 2 do not experience episodes of mania full, but go through periods of high energy and impulsivity called hypomania.

The mood swings between mania and depression can occur very quickly. This is called rapid cycling bipolar disorder, and can pass with both bipolar disorder and bipolar disorder 2.

The phases of depression and mania can also be mixed - for example, a depressed mood combined with the agitation of a manic episode.

The milder form of bipolar disorder called cyclothymia involves mood swings less severe. People with this form of the disorder alternate between hypomania and mild depression.
