Bipolar without depression?

Bipolar without depression?

Hi everyone, I'm a young adult and starting to figure my life out. Now that I understand more about myself and bipolarity, I realised that depression is very common in bipolar.

I'm always very happy (often ecstatic). I also can turn furious at any second. I do burts into tears terribly but I do not get depressed.

Is there any bipolar out there who's always manic but rarely get depressed?

Am I catagorised in the wrong mental issue?

Thanks for that, I'd heard of NPD (my father had HPD - histrionic personality disorder) but I'd never heard the term gaslighting, though I'm very aware of the technique. Learning opportunities are always welcome 🙂

I have bipolar 1 and I've only ever had manic episodes. It does happen, but the prefect model is ups and downs so we expect it I guess?
