I've always wondered what the difference between dysphoric mania and a mixed episode is too. Anyone have answers?

The only thing I can think of is that dysphoric mania is more like ALL bad stuff, like rage, and irritability, and aggravation combined with speediness and impulsivity and so on.

And then a mixed episode is slightly different in that it includes euphoria and "good" things too at times and can flip between dysphoric mania and euphoric mania at random times, or even have symptoms from both combined at once "good" and "bad".

Does that make sense?
