Hi I suspect that I have bipolar 2. I’ve been experiencing very dramatic mood shifts between severe depression and positive/chaotic thinking, and what I think are mixed episodes, but I haven’t actually had reduced sleep or been noticeably more productive than usual. I’m going to see a psychiatrist soon, but I was wondering if anyone in the bipolar thread could give me insight into whether sleeplessness and increased activity are pertinent to being diagnosed as bipolar 2? Or can you have bipolar 2 without those symptoms?
