During the elevated mood, the person can have mania or hypomania. The difference is the intensity, mania being more severe than hypomania and causing more problems in general.
There are 3 types of Bipolar Disorder: Bipolar I Disorder, Bipolar II Disorder and Cyclothymic Disorder.
In the case of Bipolar I Disorder, the person had at least one manic episode preceded or followed by major depressive episodes.
In the case of Bipolar II Disorder, the person had at least one major depressive episode and hypomanic episode, but never a full manic episode.
