I am taking my new medicine for bipolar disorder but still feel hypomanic. Should I ask for dose increase?

Answer: Two weeks is not enough time yet. So glad to see that you feel better. Rather than up the dosage (given a chance to let the medicine get into your body and make all the necessary changes) your Dr. may want to change meds. But, I think he will want you on your dosage for another 4 wks to 3 mos before making any changes. Good Luck!

Is Bipolar II a valid mental disorder, or the latest diagnosis du jour?

When you read a description of Bipolar Disorder, Type II, it reads remarkably like the human condition. It sounds more or less like a personality type, not a pathology. And what counts as a hypomanic episode, anyway? A good day? It seems so arbitrary and subjective to me. I once had a therapist who told me that mood swings and bipolar II are the same thing. I think too many shrinks are just overpaid hacks spouting unscientific garbage.
Answer: A lot of psychology is arbitrary and subjective. It irritates me to see a lot of people self-diagnose themselves as bipolar without knowing the true symptomology. Mood swings do not count as being bi-polar. Do I think it exists? Yes. Do I think it's often confused for a part of the human condition? Most definitely.

I stopped drinking and became hypomanic: is there a link?

For the past several months, I have been getting drunk just about every day. I finally started going to AA, and I havent had a drink in three days. Now, Im hypomanic. (I have bipolar disorder, II.) I used to need alcohol to sleep, so I havent been sleeping a lot. Can stopping alcohol cause mania?
Answer: I'm a licensed alcohol and drug counselor and in recovery for 20 years. Getting drunk almost every day for months will throw off your neurotransmitters, and sudden quitting can be dangerous. You may need to see a doctor to get librium prescribed as a taper (taking it less and less over a period of 5 or 6 days) which is given to prevent seizures coming off some drugs (like alcohol). Whether you do this or not, your first three weeks or so of sobriety will be an emotional roller coaster of highs and lows (getting better as time goes on), even for someone who isn't bipolar. The big book describes us in this stage as "restless, irritable, and discontent". After you've settled down a bit (a few weeks) you may need to have your bipolar medication adjusted since drinking heavily over a period of time can get it really out of adjustment. DON'T WORRY! The best thing you can do for any mental health issue is to stop drinking/using. Medication for these conditions is seriously compromised by alcohol and drug abuse and you have to get sober before you can address the root problems. Congratulations on your sobriety. It's tough at first, but a drink can only make it worse.

Hi guys. How are you all? I am 23 years old and live in Glasgow,Scotland. I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar 2 Disorder after a hypomanic episode. A few months previously i had major depression. I dont agree with the diagnosis. Is one hypomanic and one depressive episode enough for a Bipolar 2 diagnosis?Should i get a second opinion?Thanks
Answer: Yes, that is good enough. Psychiatric diagnoses are pretty subjective though. What really matters is if the medication is helping. The doctor just makes a diagnosis that seems to fit the criteria best and prescribes medication. Diagnosis of mental disorders is made by observation of behavioral symptoms and interviewing the patient, that's all. There are no reliable diagnostic tests such as MRI, xrays or whatever. I have been diagnosed with Major Depression, Recurrent and Dysthymic Disorder. One doctor said I have OCD traits but did not make a formal diagnosis of that. Sometimes I also have Dissociative Episodes. My brother has a diagnosis of Bipolar II, before that he was diagnosed with Major Depression and then Cyclothymic Disorder. It's not unusual for the same patient to go to different doctors and get different diagnoses. It's not really worth arguing about.

Can stress trigger an episode in my Bipolar II Disorder?

Hi everyone. I hope you are well. I am 23 years old and I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder. I was eventually diagnosed after three major depressive episodes and one hypomanic episode.I am now on a mood stabiliser.Can stress trigger an episode?Thanks for your time.Take care.
Answer: Many things can trigger mania. For me triggers can send me in one way or another. Sometimes most of the time it just happens in a natural pattern. Once you have that pattern down you know what to expect. Facing Us has a pretty good mood tracker: https://tracker.facingus.org/ it can graph out your moods to give you an idea overall. It can also be caused by something we are unaware of. Chemical shifts etc there's a lot that mental health sciences don't know.

For people with bipolar disorder, could you describe a specific hypomanic episode you remember?

Could you describe what exactly you did and also what your thought processes were like at the time?
Answer: Irritability is part of depression and not really descriptive of Bipolar. They look for manic (or milder hypomanic) episodes for a diagnosis of Bipolar - irritability doesn't count as it is frequently part of depression. Mania - Way too happy! PARTY GIRL! love drink and drugs. Talk really fast and pressured because my thoughts are going faster than my mouth can keep up with. Hypersexual - like I sleep with strangers and guys I just met on the internet or I masturbate 10 times a day. I once became bisexual because there were twice as many people to sleep with. Spending sprees..... I once spent my mortgage money on african violets, yep, $1500 on African violets (then I got depressed and let them all die). Quit my job because I wanted my vacation pay for lottery tickets and I was so convinced I would win that I started shopping and writing bad checks because I'd be rich as soon as the numbers were drawn. Only sleep 2 or maybe 3 hours a night for months on end and never feel tired. In the end I was unemployed, $30,000 in debt, and had almost lost my home. This can last for months. For Hypomania take that down a notch or three....... I spend a lot of money (but don't go into debt). I am very sexual (but once or twice a day is good), My thoughts fly but aren't so fast that I can't follow them. There is an increase in motivation, energy, creativity, clarity, understanding...... but it doesn't have the frantic, frenetic, over the top, uncontrollable quality to it..... If I could be hypomanic all the time I would in a heartbeat.... but for me it usually escalates into fullblown mania........

Is there a way for people with bipolar disorder to deliberately go hypomanic?

Its much better than normal.
Answer: Hi! I have bipolar for like 6 years. I have done a lot of research and also have my own insight of manic-depression. 1.Minimal hypomanic phases can give you a higher energy. 2.Minimal hypomany can also be considered as 'normal'. 3.Not all the hypomanic cases will lead you to mania afterwards. 4.But they can also be the first signals of a worse case which is a mania. 5.Normal is always fun only if you know how to live a life better when you are normal. 6.Normal is better for the evolution of your brain.The more abnormal phases you go through , through out all your life without medication/wrong medication,the more it is damaging to your brain when considered long term untreated episodes of bipolar may lead you to dotage and memory loss in the upcoming years of your life. 7.Good luck!

Is one Hypomanic episode enough to be diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder?

My Mum was recently diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder after she had a Hypomanic episode a couple of months ago.She is currently on a mood stabiliser.She doesnt agree with the diagnosis.Is one Hypomanic episode enough to be diagnosed with Bipolar II?Thanks in advance.
Answer: If indeed your Mum was diagnosed with just one episode of hypomania being identified, then I agree with your Mum. Hypomania is not exclusive to Bipolar 2, it can also be present in both cyclothymia and schizoaffective disorder. Furthermore, it can be a side effect with many medications. Hypomania compared to full mania is not easily identified as it most often manifests as an elevated mood or irritability. The Doctor/Psychiatrist who diagnosed you Mum might have taken into account any depressive episodes she might have had and also they sometimes talk to family and freinds to gage an idea of what her mood is usually like. Being on a mood stabiliser won't do your Mum any harm and regardless of what her diagnosis may be, if it treats her mood and prevents any further hypomanic episodes it is a good thing.

Cognitive styles in hypomanic episodes of bipolar I disorder.

Do you have to have either a hypomanic or manic episode to be diagnosed with bipolar disorder?

If so, describe a hypomanic or manic episode to me. Can hypomanic episodes be so mild that you dont really notice them? Im concerned because I still have anxiety problems and now my doctor thinks I may have both cyclothymia and several anxiety disorders. Life sucks.
Answer: Yes you must have manic or hypomanic episode to have bipolar. Bipolar means 2 poles. One being depression, the other being mania If you do not have mania/hypomania, then it is only unipolar depression. Mania/hypomania for everyone is a bit different. Genereally it is a period of abnormally elivated energy, which can be either euphoric (happy/hyper) or dysphoric (angry/raging). I know when I did not yet have full manias, only hypomanias, it was generally like i was on a severe caffiene rush. I would be all over the place, talk very very fast, where i often had to be told multiple times to slow down before people could understand me. Once to the point that my dad thought I was high when he picked me up from being out. He realized I wasn't when I was still like that 3 days later. I would be very forgetful and couldn't hold a train of thought for long.

How often do people with bipolar disorder have manic episodes or hypomanic episodes?


Answer: Some people have fast cycles and some slow. Mine are pretty random. Depression can last for months, and manias can last for weeks. I can stay in one of these moods for an extended amount of time, or cycle to another a few times a day. I think there are certain triggers that people have, and these contribute to the frequency of ones cycle.

How do you act when your manic/hypomanic?

I have a working diagnosis of Bipolar ll and Im basically interested to hear what your like in a hypomanic/manic mood? I want to compare my behaviour to others and try and get some insight into this disorder.
Answer: i too have a working diagnosis (though mine would be onw as i get psychosis) and when i had my first and only episode i felt like i was basically drunk or high for two weeks straight. i barely slept (1-3 hours max a night) i could barely sit still and when i have too i was always moving some part of my body. i could barely keep my attention focused it would wonder off to something else and when i tried to sleep at night thoughts kept coming into my head or if no thought then it felt like static ( you know just buzzing about something but no thoughts or emotions or whatever behind the static) i was happy but also aggressive and wanted to get into fights. people thought that i was on hard drugs at the start and my boyfriend constantly said i was off my head. i just felt so good and happy and was giving out money though i normally save up in case i need it (truth be told i really could use that money now) but yeah that's my experience

Can you have a hypomanic episode if you do not have a bipolar disorder?

Im having a hypomanic episode, confirmed by my primary care provider. Ive seen him twice already and he says that I need to see a psychiatrist ASAP. I finally managed to get an appt. with one who barely had any time other than to get some history from me (he was running late), so that led nowhere. Im still having the episode and hope I can get in to see my primary care provider again tomorrow. Is there anything else other than a bipolar disorder that can bring on a hypomanic episode? I do not take any illegal drugs. This is totally out of character for me. I am usually lazy, low key, and kind of shy, although I do have a termper at times.
Answer: I've had a hypomanic/manic episodes and I don't have bipolar disorder. One was caused by meds (started prozac) and the other was from not sleeping (due to non-bipolar reasons).
