What's the difference between type 1 and type 2 of Bipolar Disorder? Currently, I am "unspecified" to which one if not both types. Any insight would help me.

"Bipolar Type 1 has mania while type 2 has hypomania, which are less severe episodes of mania. You can only have psychosis through bipolar 1. For bipolar 1 you have to have at least 1 episode of mania that lasts at least 1 week, while hypomania in bipolar 2 lasts at least 4 days. Depressive episodes last at least 2 weeks for both types. Bipolar 1 is characterized by more intense manic episodes and depressive episodes, whereas type 2 usually has longer depressive episodes and instead of mania it causes hypomania, which is less intense than mania."
