Typically, the first major manic episode hits somewhere between the age of 20 and 40. This is usually also the first time the bipolar person gets to see the inside of the psychiatric hospital. It starts with a feeling of extreme happiness, which just keeps going and going like the Energizer bunny. Very quickly, you are out of control, hearing voices and doing crazy things.

Can bipolar 2 turn into bipolar 1?
Yes. If left untreated, bipolar 2 can easily turn into bipolar 1 or possibly even rapid cycling bipolar disorder. (Second User) Yes, even with treatment (although it is much less likely in such a case) bipolar two disorder can become bipolar one disorder. This would happen when the hypomanic episodes of Bipolar 2 become more severe and harmful manic episodes. This change has been known to most often happen after somebody has had the disorder for some time. To clarify the first answer: Rapid cycling can occur in any type of bipolar disorder. It is not really its own type of bipolar disorder, rather, it is a condition that can occur with a bipolar disorder. It refers to a person who experiences four or more bipolar mood swings in a year. This can also develop over time or be a part of the disorder from the start.
