There are exceptions. I have type II and I have been hospitalized. Also, I went through $120,000 very very quickly. So even though there can be a night and day difference between the two, both can significantly impede ones ability to function in their life. What about the debilitating depression that type IIs can have more frequently than type Is? Or so I am told. My depression has effectively left me catatonic more than once in my life. IMO both Bipolar type Is and type IIs are serious MIs. There may be pleasant hypomanias for some, but the problem is actually the whole package, like hypomania with depression. Still, I know that type Is and type IIs can be a night and day difference from what I have seen discussed here on PC. I am very fortunate I am not Bipolar I. I just think the blog only identified part of the story.

Still, thanks for the link.
