- hypomanic
- I have always been diagnosed as hypomanic rather than manic, Quotes are from Wikipedia unless otherwise stated
- "Hypomania (literally, below mania) is a mood state characterized by
- persistent and pervasive elevated (euphoric) or irritable mood,
- as well as thoughts and behaviors that are consistent with such a mood state.
- Individuals in a hypomanic state have a decreased need for sleep,
- are extremely outgoing and competitive, and have a great deal of energy.
- However, unlike with full mania, those with hypomanic systems are fully functioning, and are often
- actually more productive than usual.
- Specifically, hypomania is distinguished from mania by the absence of psychotic symptoms
- and by its lower degree of impact on functioning."
