What is Bipolar 2 Disorder?

Bipolar 2 Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by recurring episodes of depression and hypomania. Unlike Bipolar 1 Disorder, hypomania in Bipolar 2 is less severe. Individuals experience prolonged periods of sadness, low energy, and loss of interest during depressive episodes, while hypomanic episodes involve increased energy, elevated mood, and impulsive behavior. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for managing symptoms and promoting overall well-being.
