A member asked:
Can there be periods of normal mood in bipolar ii? or is it always you're either depressed or hypomanic with no in between?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Some people may cycle back & forth between depressed & hypomanic. However, many people have periods of normal mood & energy level. Some people experience more time in intercyclic recovery than in depression or hypomania. Take care.
