Bipolar disorder is classified by the severity of symptoms as bipolar disorder I, bipolar disorder II and cyclothymic disorder. Patients can be categorized as more than one of each category or they may either progress or digress between phases. Some medical professionals believe each category has distinct symptoms and biologic factors that would allow them to be categorized as separate disorders. Only a medical professional can accurately diagnose the type of group a person with bipolar disorder has. Each person’s symptoms are unique and may last up to several months at a time.
