Table : TABLE 5.1 • Three Types of Mood Disorder Episodes
A major depressive episode involves symptoms of depression. A manic episode involves elated, irritable, or euphoric mood (mood that is extremely positive and may not necessarily be appropriate to the situation). A hypomanic episode involves elated, irritable, or euphoric mood that is less distressing or severe than mania and is different from the person’s nondepressed state. That is, how a person behaves during a hypomanic episode is different from his or her usual state.
