Hi Allie--
I believe BiPolarIII is when people have cycling moods of depression and hypomania (same as BPII--I've never had a true, manic state which can elevate into a psychotic episode). The main difference is that the III's only get the hypomania when they are use an AntiDepressant--so it's pharmaceutically triggered.
Hope that helps,
Elizabeth
