It is mine. It is very rare that I'm not mixed to some degree. Until clozapine it was pretty much always moderate to severe; now it is more mild dipping into moderate. A few months ago I had a month that my diagnosis was mild or moderate (don't remember) hypomania and that was actually weird because I see that so rarely.

Since clozapine works for me I've learned that if I feel symptoms I need to get treatment immediately if I feel any change. In the summer I avoided a big mixed episode by asking to do a 4 day pulse of a higher dose of clozapine; generally in the summer I have a bad episode and this prevented it.
