Bipolar II Disorder in Teens and Young Adults http://bipolar.i-know.info/bipolar_ii_disorder_... There are at least two forms of bipolar disorder. Bipolar I Disorder is symptomized by intense mood swings from emotional highs to emotional lows, known as mania and depression respectively. Mania, besides indicating excessive euphoria and aggression, is generally accompanied by delusions and hallucinations, or in other words, a form of psychosis. In Bipolar II Disorder, the person is affected by a less intense form of mania, which is called hypomania. People with hypomania exhibit similar behaviors as those who have mania, but they do not have hallucinations and delusions, and they do not have extreme lapses in judgment. Hypomania is not disabling, as mania generally is, and in fact it can even improve function for a period of time.
