What are some of the clinical differences between bipolar I and bipolar II? Depressive episodes—predominant in both bipolar I and bipolar II disorder—may include hospitalization, psychotic symptoms, and functional impairment.

Depressive episodes may include:

  • Hospitalization
  • Psychotic symptoms
  • Functional impairment

This time spent in depression across both subtypes is greater, on average, than the time spent in mania or hypomania. Furthermore, patients with bipolar II typically experience a higher frequency of depressive episodes that last longer, with 81% of their time ill due to depressive episodes versus 70% for patients with bipolar I.

Time ill due to depressive episodes
Bipolar II is associated with a higher frequency of depressive episodes that last longer than those of bipolar I2,3

Additional differentiators between bipolar I and II include the fact that patients with bipolar II are more likely to have comorbid psychiatric disorders, may have a higher risk of death by suicide, and frequently experience a diagnostic delay of approximately 10 years versus approximately 5 years for bipolar I. The reason for this delay in diagnosis could be that depressive episodes in bipolar disorder are clinically identical to those in unipolar depression; as such, many patients with bipolar disorder can be misdiagnosed with unipolar depression.

Compared with bipolar I depression, patients with bipolar II...1-4

  • Are more likely to have comorbid psychiatric disorders
  • May have a higher risk of death by suicide
  • Frequently experience a diagnostic delay of ~10 years (vs ~5 years for bipolar I)5

While depression is predominant, the identification of mania or hypomania is the key factor that distinguishes a diagnosis of bipolar I or II disorder from unipolar depression. Bipolar I disorder is characterized by the presence of at least 1 manic episode that lasts 1 week or more. Bipolar II, on the other hand, is characterized by episodes of depression that alternate with hypomania rather than mania, with hypomanic events that last at least 4 days.

Bipolar I is characterized by

  • At least 1 manic episode
  • Lasting ≥1 week
  • Hospitalization
  • Psychotic symptoms (up to 75%)
  • Functional impairment
Bipolar II is characterized by
  • Hypomania, not mania
  • Lasting ≥4 days
  • No hospitalization
  • Psychotic symptoms
  • No marked functional impairment

Hypomania can be difficult to detect because episodes may not be severe enough to affect functioning; examples of hypomanic behavior involve having higher energy levels than usual, with behaviors such as not going to bed, talking fast, or quickly jumping from subject to subject.

In conclusion, depressive episodes are predominant in both bipolar I and II disorder. In particular, bipolar II is often characterized by hypomania versus mania and by a higher frequency of depressive episodes that last longer and have greater severity than those in bipolar I.
