Hypomania is low grade mania. It's the same symptoms as mania, but less intense. The mood can be elevated or irritable, and you get symptoms like less need for sleep, racing thoughts, extra energy, riskier behavior, more goal directed behavior, and hypersexuality. There can not be psychosis and you generally do not require hospitalization with hypomanis.
