Most of my mania has presented during mixed episodes and only once or twice have I ever experienced pure euphoric mania. My hypomanic episodes often manifest as euphoric but when I switch to mania they turn mixed. Does anyone else experience their mania this way? I have been diagnosed BP1 mainly due to my horror mixed episodes.

Note: My doctor has put me on Lithium to treat it and I had to go off it while having ECT and noticed my irritability and agitation go through the roof into another mixed episode. This is why I am on such a high dose of Olanzqpine (ZYPREXA) at the moment.
