Bipolar II is a mental health condition characterized by recurring episodes of depression and hypomania. Unlike Bipolar I, individuals with Bipolar II do not experience full-blown manic episodes. Instead, they have periods of elevated mood that are less severe, known as hypomania, which can still impact daily functioning. People with Bipolar II often face significant challenges due to the depressive episodes, which can be debilitating. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication and therapy to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Early diagnosis and ongoing support are crucial for effective management of the condition.
