Hmmmm good point.

Got me pondering.

So what's the difference between these:

Feeling happy because of our environment

OR

Feeling happy because of hypomania?

Could you have both?

I recon yeah you could actually .... because probably when you're hypo you're more outgoing / friendly / sociable - all round easier to get on with as opposed to when you might be depressed and not want to really hang around with anyone, if this analogy makes sense.

And maybe some people are just brought up in an environment where they will be less exposed to events that may cause unhappiness for others.

There's probably a study on this with identical twins?
