What is Mixed Mania and How Do We Treat It?

What is Mixed Mania and How Do We Treat It? The official term for mixed mania is bipolar disorder either 1 or 2 with mixed features. With bipolar 1 disorder, you have episodes of depression and episodes of mania. With bipolar 2, you have depression and episodes of hypomania.

For more information on Bipolar Disorder, see my Bipolar Disorder Playlist here: https://goo.gl/1hKamL

Mixed features means you have a combination of depression symptoms and hypomanic symptoms occurring at the same time. Mixed mania is harder to treat than bipolar disorder without mixed features. In this video I discuss some of the treatment options including electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
