Bipolar I |
||
| Bipolar disorder I is
characterized by at least one manic episode. It is estimated that in
60%-70% of cases, the manic episodes of bipolar I either precede or follow
a depressive episode. There are however some people who may never
experience an episode of major depression.
It is common in this type of bipolar for a person to experience mixed episodes, where both the symptoms of mania and depression are present at the same time.
