thank you for trying to provide me with the correct definition of what hypomania is...the problem here isnt whether a member is right or wrong....

we have many different locations, cultures, treatment providers and such represented here on psych central , as such we post only from our own locations, and the definitions according to our own locations here in NY which is in the USA as opposed to other locations this is the standard we go by and what my own treatment providers go by in diagnosing my own bipolar phases..

Hypomania and Mania Symptoms in Bipolar Disorder

Hypomania is a less severe form of mania. Hypomania is a mood that many don't perceive as a problem. It actually may feel pretty good. You have a greater sense of well-being and productivity. However, for someone with bipolar disorder, hypomania can evolve into mania -- or can switch into serious depression.

thanks for trying to provide accurate information but unfortunately this is the standard I must go by because thats what my location and my own treatment providers go by.

to the original poster....everyone has their own treatment providers, location, culture...so theres going to be conflicting answers on here go according to what your own treatment providers say is your bipolar and your bipolar phases and how to treat it. they are the ones that know you the best.
