Unipolar is when one mood is experienced (depression) Bipolar is when both moods are experienced (depression and mania) Persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia) is a more chronic form of depression (less severe, but more chronic, last longer than mdd) Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder is the over-diagnosis and confusion of bipolar disorder: most likely child will develop depression or anxiety disorder over bipolar disorder.
