Irritability and aggression are some of my main symptoms while hypo. It can escalate to extreme levels and I have lost touch a few times where I was doing and saying things I wasn't aware of. My mixed and depressed irritability are different, but hypo irritability is scary because I don't know what I might do.

When I'm on medication, I don't have these episodes and rarely get irritable or angry.

What I want to know is, why don't we hear more about this side of mania? Or do we, and I'm just missing it? I do experience the euphoria while hypo, but it often alternates over the course of the episode, usually escalating to the point I start losing touch, as mentioned above.

I'd like to know others' experienced or if you know of any good articles/reads about it. Thanks !!
