What Is Bipolar II (2)?
6. Social Complications
Bipolar II can cause the patient to experience complications with other people around them, including friends and family. Their symptoms can put a strain on relationships, and their actions will sometimes hurt other people around them. These problems are considerably less likely when the patient is neither depressed nor hypomanic, however.
Young patients may also struggle at school and with their grades, and this will sometimes be the first time their parents notice something is wrong. This can cause the patient to suffer academically and this can carry over into their adult lives. Adults with the condition will also sometimes have difficulty in their professional lives.
