I have bipolar 1 and do not experience depressive episodes, only mania with psychosis. I do experience periods of intense anxiety which include unhelpful thoughts (I'm a failure, imagining the worst outcomes), but I do not have low mood/appetite changes/etc. In my case, are these anxiety symptoms what depression looks like for me? Do other people with bipolar 1 also experience mania and not depression? Thanks.
