Bipolar affective disorder unspecified is whenever an individual doesn't display full criteria for bipolar disorder, but is experiencing alternating manic and depressive mood swings. However, the individual's episodes are too short to meet the criteria of Bipolar disorder or even cyclothymic disorder (if the mood swings aren't as severe).
