If he's a type 1 he gets manic episodes, which are far more intense and can last weeks. They can escalate into full blown schizo delusions, and usually require hospitalization.Hypomanic episodes give you increased energy levels (sleep less, feel pumped all the time, think fast, a bit like adhd), and pumps up your confidence to an unreasonable level.
That's why bipolar people feel often invincible and like they know absolute truths etc. A bit like Ye boi.
For this reason many people with bipolar disorder refuse to treat the hypomanic episodes, even if it is detrimental, it just feels good.
