Introduction
Bipolar disorder dates back to the time of Hippocrates (Healy). Hippocrates was the first to put mania and melancholia on our cultural radar (Healy). The symptoms he used to diagnose mania were that of nausea, shivering, insomnia, and lack of thirst (Healy). Until recently, bipolar II disorder has been virtually unknown and highly underdiagnosed. DSM-IV has separated bipolar disorders into two types, bipolar II and I. (Chengappa, Levine, Gershon, Kupfer). These two disorders may have differing genetic, biological, phenomenological attributes and course of illness
