Which disorder is characterized by at least one episode of mania?

Bipolar I disorder
Bipolar II disorder
Bipolar depression
Psychosis

The correct answer is: Bipolar I disorder

Bipolar I disorder is characterized by at least one episode of mania, which is a distinct period of elevated, expansive, or irritable mood. Bipolar II disorder, while also a mood disorder, does not involve a manic episode, but instead is characterized by periods of hypomania and depression. Bipolar depression is not a specific disorder, but rather a type of depression that occurs in individuals with bipolar disorder. Psychosis is not a mood disorder, but rather a mental health condition characterized by a disconnection from reality. Therefore, the other options are incorrect choices for the disorder characterized by at least one episode of mania.
