> Wendy, I think you may be mistaken. I'm pretty sure a mixed state is both feeling depression and yet having much energy. Like yin and yang at the same time. I think what you're reffering to is ultradian cycling (ultra-ultra rapid). Mixed is MIXED. It's not going up, then down, then up etc. It's like the ENERGY of a mania/hypomania with the depression of the down cycle. I could be wrong tho.
> P.S. Sorry about my post on the mixed state. It was a little unintelligible.

MM (if you've posted your name before, I don't know it, sorry),God, I thought it was the other way. But I'm absolutely no expert, that's why I said to Sar that she should do some research on P-B Tips, etc. I think a quick check of the DSM-IV would help...
I always thought manic behavior was precisely NOT depressed, but happy and/or elated mood.
Don't want to be a spreader of mis-information, so I'll try to do some quick checking. Anyone else want to chime in?
Thanks,
Wendy
