Yes, many things: can trigger a hypomanic episode in a person with BPD Type 2 not taking mood stabilizers as prescribed or whose medication regimen needs to be adjusted. Some include change of seasons, many prescription & illicit drugs, & some medical conditions. See www.psychologytoday.com/blog/frontpage-forensics/201303/march-madness-7-signs-hypomania & your primary care doctor, psychiatrist & therapist.
