<h2>Types of Bipolar Disorder</h2>
<div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bipolar Disorder 1:</strong>Characterized by manic episodes lasting a week or more, with or without depression symptoms. Severe mania may require hospitalization, and depression may persist for over two weeks.</li>
<li><strong>Bipolar Disorder 2:</strong>Features both manic and depressive episodes, with milder mania (hypomania) compared to bipolar 1. A significant depressive episode typically precedes or follows the manic phase.</li>
<li><strong>Cyclothymic Disorder:-</strong>Manic and depressive periods lasting two years or more, with milder symptoms than bipolar 1 or 2. Children must experience both for at least a year before diagnosis, exhibiting mood swings and cycles of normalcy, mania, and sadness.</li>
