[QUOTE=ValentinaVVV;4389248]A few months of full blown mania. Hypomania maybe 4-6 mos. Then a few month depression.
My psychiatrist lets me stay hypomanic if I don't go manic.[/QUOTE ]
I sure wish mine would.....he doesn't let me get away with much of that because I usually get manic if hypo goes on for more than a couple of weeks. OTOH, it's not good for me to get manic, so I suppose he's right to quash the hypo. Although I'm so well medicated now that I really don't get the highs anymore.
