A clinical case of type II bipolar affective disorder

Abstract

This study presents a clinical case of bipolar affective disorder type II. Difficulties in differential diagnosis at the early disease stages are discussed. The considered clinical case reflects real psychiatric practice when the onset of the disease is identified in adolescence and associated with the impact of a traumatic situation. Disease manifestations are characterized by polymorphism and atypical affective symptoms, which require careful differential diagnosis, considering disorders of other nosological categories and pathological pubertal crisis. Early recognition of type II bipolar affective disorder is associated with difficulties in hypomanic episode identification that are not regarded by patients as painful in most cases and are not a reason for seeking psychiatric advice and care.
