Mania leads to significant functional impairment and may include psychotic features or necessitate hospitalization Bipolar Type I: ✅requires at least one episode of mania for at least one week (or any duration if hospitalization due to symptoms is required) Bipolar Type II: ✅diagnosis requires a current or past hypomanic episode and a current or past major depressive episode. Symptoms last for at least 4 days but fewer than seven. -Hypomanic symptoms are not of sufficient duration or severity to cause significant functional impairment, psychosis, or hospitalization. -Anger and irritability are common. -Clients often enjoy the elevation of mood and are reluctant to report these symptoms, making bipolar more difficult to diagnose if the client presents in the depression phase. Cyclothymia: ✅involves the chronic presentation of hypomanic and depressive symptoms that do not meet the diagnostic criteria for a major depressive or manic/hypomanic episode.
