Has anyone ever felt slowed down like you can barely move yet you are not depressed? Is that an example of a mixed state?

Dear Lik3,

I don't think this slowed down effect that you are experiencing is a mixed mood. I believe that mixed moods include highs and lows, but you should look that up online to be certain that you understand what you are feeling. I am not a professional and thus, just going by what I have come to understand is a mixed mood. Good Luck.

Mixed Episode

SYMPTOMS

A mixed episode is not a disorder itself, but rather is a description of a type of bipolar disorder.
A mixed epsiode is defined by meeting the diagnostic criteria for both a manic episode as well as a major depressive episode nearly every day for at least a full week.
Like most mental disorders, a mixed episode must be severe enough to cause distress or impairment in social, occupational, education or other important functioning and is not better accounted for by the physiological effects of substance use or abuse (alcohol, drugs, medications) or a general medical condition.

Well I'm definately in a mixed episode! Now that I know that, how do I pull out of it?

Hope you are feeling better with the mixed mood.
