Question

Name the characteristics of each of the three types of bipolar disorder.

Answer 1

First of all bipolar disorder is generally regarded as a mood disorder. All forms of bipolar disorder include consistent changes in mood, energy, and activity rates. Such moods vary from the cycles of highly elated and energized behavior to very negative, or depressed episodes. Three forms of bipolar disorder along with symptoms are discussed below:
Type I (manic-depressive)-This form of bipolar is characterized by a sudden worsening of bipolar symptoms, which may also occur when stress or a major life shift occurs. It includes depressive episodes lasting at least one week or manic episodes with such symptoms that the patient must seek medical attention immediately. In those with this type of bipolar disorder depressive symptoms often last about two weeks. We can also experience experiences containing symptoms from both bipolar and depressive disorders at the same time.

Type II (florid)

Individuals with type II bipolar disorder experience a sudden worsening of bipolar symptoms. They can feel very irritable or angry when this happens and become highly irritable or angry the next day. Become a highly talkative, but then slow down and become lethargic. Become very optimistic, but then feel helpless and nervous.
. Bipolar II is marked by most stressful events in life. Many individuals with type II bipolar are well-adjusted. Yet they can make unwise decisions or plan to put off big life events because of their condition. They can also find it hard to maintain relationships. We may also have trouble keeping jobs and interests.

Type III (pulse or mania)

People with type III bipolar disorder experience a sudden worsening of their bipolar symptoms that's often spontaneous and not linked to any specific case. They might:
Feel very positive, enthusiastic and talkative the day before a big event, become very lethargic and unable to carry on a conversation, have an unusually high degree of activity in their moods, which can result in them becoming very physically active and attracting a large number of visitors, find it difficult to relate to others, because they are dysfunctional and not very involved in relationships or intimacy.
