This isn't how I read it. I think it means that mixed episodes can happen in the context of both mania and hypomania. So, if you're BP II, you can get mixed episodes of depression and hypomania. If you're bipolar I, you could get mixed episodes with either hypo or full blown mania.
Thanks for this!
