Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bipolar I disorder is characterized by at least one episode of manic or mixed symptoms, which must have lasted for at least a week or required hospitalization. Depressive episodes may also occur in individuals with bipolar I disorder, but they are not required for the diagnosis. Hypomanic episodes are associated with bipolar II disorder, not bipolar I disorder.
