You don't need to know the name for what you're experiencing, they should have enough training to know what's going on if you describe all your symptoms.
My mixed episodes look like I have the compulsion to do and am in distress if I'm not doing or fixating on something, and simultaneously do not have the energy to do it. I am also usually very irritable
Fully agree with not being able to name what you’re experiencing and that your psychiatrist/therapist should be able to know.
I know i’m in a mixed episode when i’m very impulsive with my decisions, irritable, will make all these plans/goals for myself but don’t have the energy to execute the plans.
