Lack of insight certainly isn't universal. I didn't automatically have insight into my hypomanic and mixed episodes, but once I was diagnosed with bipolar and studied the symptoms, it wasn't difficult to recognize the symptoms in myself. It's only during my very worst depressive and mixed episodes that I start to lose insight now. That's when it gets dangerous, buy my medication prevents this so I pretty much always know how I'm feeling these days.
