In the past, I read the following statement made by a psychiatrist in an article on www.bphope.com (the website for bp Magazine):

"Researchers at the University of California–San Diego calculated the ratio of time that people with bipolar II spend in depression versus hypomania at 40:1. Even in bipolar I, they found, the depression-to-mania ratio is 3:1."

Do you have bipolar type 2 or 1? And do you feel that the above quoted ratio seems almost right in describing the amount of time you've spent in depression vs. hypomania/mania over the course of your life? If you've had bipolar disorder for a long time, have you noticed any shifts over time in the amount of time you spent in depression vs. hypomania/mania?
