A member asked:
My psychiatrist said im on the bipolar spectrum, was that her indirect way of saying that i have bipolar disorder please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difference: Bipolar I and bipolar II, In the first, manic phases are more severe, and in the second, depressive phases are more severe. There is also cyclothymia which is a low grade version of bipolar disorder in general, where mood swings are not as severe in either direction, manic or depressive.
