BarbaraCat,
My pdoc said there can be different degrees or intensity to the bipolar whereas my mom would go into hypomania or deep seasonal depression (she also had thyroid problems) My bipolar is less severe and my mood swings much less in my post menopausal state. I used to almost be psychotic once a month and also remembering that every time I was hospitalized, I had just started my monthlies. So I am sure the hormones play a part in all of this.
