MindCareCentral: Comprehensive Bipolar Resource Guide

 Bipolar I Disorder is when you have extreme mood swings, from feeling very happy and energetic (called mania) to feeling very sad and tired (called depression). These mood changes can be very strong and affect how you live your daily life. 

 Bipolar II Disorder is when you experience mood swings that include high-energy periods called hypomania, which are less intense than full mania, and periods of depression where you feel very sad and tired. These mood changes can affect your daily life, but the highs aren't as extreme as in Bipolar I Disorder. 

 Cyclothymic Disorder is when you have mood swings that go up and down, but they're not as extreme as in Bipolar Disorder. You might feel happier or more energetic sometimes, and other times you might feel sad or low. These changes can affect your life, but they're usually milder than other mood disorders.
