The four basic types of bipolar disorder:

2. Bipolar II – is defined by a pattern of depressive episodes that change over and over with hypo manic episodes, but this stage has no full-fledged manic or mixed episodes.
3. Bipolar disorder not otherwise specified (BP-NOS) – This stage is diagnosed when a person has symptoms of bipolar disorder that do not meet diagnostic criteria for either bipolar I or II. The person may have very few symptoms of be diagnosed with bipolar disorder I or II and most of the time the symptoms did not last long enough.
4th Cyclothymic disorder (cyclothymia) – This is a mild form of bipolar disorder. People with cyclothymia have episodes of mania hiccups that often switch back and forth with a slight depression for at least two years. But the symptoms are indicative and not eligible for any other type of bipolar disorder.
