I have never had a happy productive hypomania, and I don't know any pdoc who would treat that because no one is going to see a mh professional if they feel that good. I only know the agitated, sleepless, poor decision-making, volatile, work at 2 in the morning, quit my job, and make a mess of things kind of hypomania that's followed by stupor and giving up, crawling into a hole. There might have been an initial feeling of happy productive, but it was fleeting.
