What an interesting question! Thanks for posting this!

For me personally I've noticed that I actually have less depressive episodes than I did when I was younger. I rarely get straight up depressive episodes anymore. I had one last spring and it was truly terrible, but it's the first straight up depression I've had in several years. I'm in a more depressive phase right now but I still have the mixed symptoms added in, so it's not a classic depressive episode.

I mostly have hypomanic or manic episodes.
