Bipolar I Disorder (mot to be confused with Bipolar II). Highest suicide rate, mania, to include hallucinations and hearing voices, often violence. Bipolar I disorder also includes hypomania and severe depression.
The term "Bipolar" at one time was known as Manic Depressive Illness. Currently, the name for the illness has come to include, erroneously, the Bipolar II. Bipolar II does not have the element of mania that Bipolar I does.
Actually Bipolar II does have a manic element, but it is hypomanic, which is a lot less severe than the mania of Bipolar I. A lot of people, like me, start out as Bipolar II but become Bipolar I when they have their first full-blown manic attack (I prefer attack to episode because that's what it is--an attack on the mind).

What is the worst kind of mental illness?
It’s difficult to label any mental illness as the "worst," as each condition can vary greatly in severity and impact on an individual's life. However, disorders like severe depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder can be particularly debilitating, leading to profound distress, impaired functioning, and challenges in maintaining relationships. The stigma surrounding mental illness can exacerbate these conditions, making recovery more difficult. Ultimately, the experience of mental illness is highly individual, and the "worst" may differ from person to person.
