Well the ones making the most money out of the positive thinking industry are the ones doing the seminars, books, and tapes.

But yes it is understandable that if you are depressed, it would be hard to think positive and be full of energy.

And then hypomanic could be the other way around, yes. The NY Times has an article about ideal entrepreneurs being "just manic enough." Which makes me jealous of anyone with a BP that is always just manic enough. The article unfortunately refers to the rest of us as "lunatics." Stigma is all over the place. But that article both de-stigmatizes and stigmatizes at least.
