Depressive symptoms and symptoms of hypomania or mania#N#may also alternate rapidly, from day to day or even from hour to hour.#N#A diagnosis of mixed bipolar affective disorder should be made only if#N#the two sets of symptoms are both prominent for the greater part of the#N#current episode of illness, and if that episode has lasted for a least#N#2 weeks.
The clinical picture is that of a more severe form#N#of mania as described above. Inflated self-esteem and grandiose ideas may#N#develop into delusions, and irritability and suspiciousness into delusions#N#of persecution. In severe cases, grandiose or religious delusions of identity#N#or role may be prominent, and flight of ideas and pressure of speech may#N#result in the individual becoming incomprehensible. Severe and sustained#N#physical activity and excitement may result in aggression or violence,#N#and neglect of eating, drinking, and personal hygiene may result in dangerous#N#states of dehydration and self-neglect. If required, delusions or hallucinations#N#can be specified as congruent or incongruent with the mood. “Incongruent”#N#should be taken as including affectively neutral delusions and hallucinations;#N#for example, delusions of reference with no guilty or accusatory content,#N#or voices speaking to the individual about events that have no special#N#emotional significance.
Hypomania is a lesser degree of mania, in which abnormalities#N#of mood and behaviour are too persistent and marked to be included under#N#cyclothymia but are not accompanied by hallucinations or delusions.

Increased sociability, talkativeness,#N#overfamiliarity, increased sexual energy, and a decreased need for sleep#N#are often present but not to the extent that they lead to severe disruption#N#of work or result in social rejection. Irritability, conceit, and boorish#N#behaviour may take the place of the more usual euphoric sociability.
