A member asked:
Please let me know the shortest amount of time that a manic episode has to last for a person to to qualiy as "bipolar 2"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lets rephrase : You cannot actually have mania because that would qualify automatically to be bipolar one. To have a manic episode you need symptoms for one week. On the other hand you need symptoms for four days for diagnosis of hypomania. Bipolar ii comes with hypomania not mania.
