Bipolar II is considered the less-severe form of Bipolar Disorder. According to most medical opinions, psychosis must be absent in order to qualify as a Bipolar II diagnosis. Bipolar II has not been studied extensively independantly from Bipolar I, and its frequency in the general population is uncertain. Since it may require less medical attention than Bipolar I, more people with Bipolar II remain undiagnosed, as they may not be adversely affected by the condition. Those seeking help for Bipolar II usually do so under the umbrella of Bipolar I, since Bipolar II may not be considered a medical need by some practitioners. However, this brings with it the possibility of over-treatment.
