1. agitated depression

   A mixed affective state, formerly known as a mixed-manic or mixed episode, has been defined as a state wherein features unique to both depression and mania—such as episodes of despair, doubt, anguish, rage or homicidal ideation, suicidal ideation, splitting, racing thoughts, sensory overload, pressure of activity, and heightened irritability—occur either simultaneously or in very short succession. Previously, the diagnostic criteria for both a manic and depressive episode had to be met in a consistent and sustained fashion, with symptoms enduring for at least a week (or any duration if psychiatric hospitalization was required), thereby restricting the official acknowledgement of mixed affective states to only a minority of patients with bipolar I disorder. In current DSM-5 nomenclature, however, a "mixed episode" no longer stands as an episode of illness unto itself; rather, the symptomology specifier "with mixed features" can be applied to any major affective episode (manic, hypomanic, or depressive), meaning that they are now officially recognized in patients with, in addition to bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder and, by convention, major depressive disorder. A depressive mixed state in a patient, however, even in the absence of discrete periods of mania or hypomania, effectively rules out unipolar depression.

1. agitated depression

   Agitated depression, also known as mixed state or dysphoric mania, is a type of depression that involves symptoms like restlessness, irritability, and physical agitation. Unlike traditional depression where individuals may experience feelings of unhappiness or numbness and a lack of energy or motivation, individuals with agitated depression may have difficulty staying still and are often driven to a state of anxiety or panic. It is often seen as a subtype of major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder. Its exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to result from a combination of genetic predisposition, biological factors, environmental triggers, and psychological factors.
