What does bipolar disorder? Continued

Hypomanic episode-

A hypomanic episode is characterized by less severe manic symptoms that need to last only four days in a row rather than a week. Hypomanic episodes do not lead to the major problems in daily functioning that manic symptoms commonly cause. Please see my previous post on symptoms of manic episode to have a context. In my next post I will talk about major depressive episode and it's symptoms and how it presents in bipolar disorder.

If you or a loved one is struggling with symptoms that are interfering in your daily life, please reach out to my office for an appointment for evaluation and treatment.
