I liked your response to Mark although I've had different experiences with manic episodes. My first one- about 15 years ago- was psychotic and I was hospitalized with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Apparently that was not too uncommon considering my age- early 20's and my paranoid type delusions which still manifest when I'm manic. I agree with the atypical label of depression, everyone I've interacted with that has been dxed with bipolar 1 or 2 has said how they sleep 20 hours a day, legs feel like lead, etc. I read somewhere the label of rapid cycling is a controversial term, and that what's really occuring is a mixed episode. Which doesn't hold true for me- I have truly euphoric manias that lead to a mixed presentation and go into your "atypical" depression. Well, I guess they say that the nature of bipolar disorder is it's variability. Take care.
