The bipolar disorders are characterized by dramatic changes in mood, activity, and/or energy levels that significantly affect one’s functioning (NIMH, 2016). Those who have these disorders may display mixed episodes in which they demonstrate characteristics of both mania and depression. Manic or hypomanic episodes (up states that do not meet the criteria for mania) are characterized by periods of elevated mood and high-energy, while depressive episodes are characterized by periods of low mood and energy (APA, 2013; NIMH, 2016).
