My old pdoc always explained it that hypomania was 3-4 out of the 7 typical manic symptoms and mania was 5+. Not sure how accurate that is. I'll get the racing thoughts, the less need for sleep, and impulsiveness, but my counselor has been hesitant to label it 'mania' and instead just says it's 'hypomania'. So I don't know. I'm still confused about the whole thing really and where the line is.
