It’s important to track your symptoms.
There are different types of bipolar I disorder symptoms. At times, you may have symptoms of mania (called a manic episode), which can include:
- Feeling overly happy (ecstatic) or irritable
- Talking very fast, having racing thoughts, being easily distracted, needing little sleep, acting impulsively, and acting in risky ways
At other times, you may have a mixed episode, which includes symptoms of mania and depression.
