Hi everyone , I'm just asking this question out of curiosity and to hear other's thought's on the topic , because a friend of mine from my rehab group seems to think bi polar 1 patients seem to have more stability than those who have type 2 bi polar disorder ,from what she said to me her son has type 1 and she has type 2 , but she also explained to me bi polar 1 has more severe manic episodes and longer in duration which i kinda already knew .
