Does people with bipolar disorder 2 are aware of their disease? in particular , when the have an episode of hypomania , can they recognize it?

Therapy Helps: That is a great question. Working with a therapist allows a person to be more self aware. If a person has bipolar 2, they may have hypomanic episodes which they may not recognize. At times this can result in difficulties. (other times it may make them productive and creative) . So in addition to treating the condition ( sometimes with medication ) developing self awareness can be very helpful.
