bipolar major depression
Bipolar II is the mental health care of the classification of a form of manic depression is not as well known as his "sister" of the disease Bipolar I However, even if it is not known, which means that the bipolar II is not a challenge for sufferers.
Whereas bipolar I depression include fledged mania bipolar II hypomania (less than mania). Bipolar II is a form of depression that causes the victim to swing in a deep crisis (depression) to highs accelerated.
The top two are called a bipolar manic episode hypomanic. The symptoms of a hypomanic episode are:

Hypomania is a state with which I am very familiar. When I suffered from repeated episodes of bipolar II disorder, I often found myself in a state of hypomania. Now I have my disease well managed with nutrition and self-help, so my mood does not swing up to hypomanic highs more.
I can not say that hypomania was a problem when I lived. Hypomania state is essentially a very rapid productivity and fast. When I was hypomanic, talked fast, walked fast, quick thinking, he worked quickly, and did almost everything else faster. You do not need much sleep. I could handle several tasks at once without any problems. I was optimistic, enthusiastic, relentlessly optimistic and confident. Honestly, for me, hypomania is a wonderful state. Some suffer from bipolar II disorder, however, experience extreme agitation in hypomania.
Unfortunately for me and others with bipolar disorder II, that the experience of the UP-side of hypomania, hypomania does not last. Due to the cyclical nature of bipolar II, hypomania is always followed by a crash in mood. Hypomania always lead to a major depressive episode.
