Comments on: Bipolar Mania – Type One Bipolar http://knowingbipolardisorder.com/2009/01/bipolar-mania-2/ Coming to Grips with Bipolar Disorder Sun, 22 Apr 2012 18:48:04 +0000 hourly 1 By: Carrie http://knowingbipolardisorder.com/2009/01/bipolar-mania-2/#comment-5753 Carrie Sun, 22 Apr 2012 06:04:35 +0000 http://knowingbipolardisorder.com/?p=273#comment-5753 This post is terribly wrong and it should be deleted whenever possible. Despite its inaccuracy, I did, however, get a kick out of this: "The symptoms [of Bipolar I] can be treated with one medication rather than two (for the most part)." Show me a bipolar patient who only takes *one* psych drug and I will award you with a cacophonous applause. This post is terribly wrong and it should be deleted whenever possible.

Type I bipolar is NOT the most common form. Hypomania is NOT the most severe form of mania but the LESS so. Pure mania is the more severe. Hypomania is NOT diagnosed when there is an extended phase that includes psychosis. Psychosis would come most often with pure mania. Type one symptoms are NOT mostly of one kind and to say it is more treatable is a gross generalization. There is no way to generalize how many medications people need to be on. If you can't post accurate information, don't post at all. This posting has a series of errors. Type I bipolar is NOT the most common form.
