I'm confused too. I think it has to do with how rapidly you cycle...BP1's go up and down more frequently, where BP2's stay in their up, down, or mixed periods for longer periods of time...I think...
Anyone who knows, please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

Here is the best explanation of BP II I've ever seen. But briefly, BP II is way more depressive than manic, and BP I is both depressive and manic.

BP II
