I have very recently been diagnosed with Bipolar 1 and PTSD and I have a question that I tried to ask my pdoc but he didn't know what I was talking about.

There are times that I feel hypomanic and I can function okay (relatively speaking) at work or school but when I'm hypomanic I get psychotic symptoms (namely paranoia and hearing voices). Is this technically mania?

I'm not asking for any diagnosis, just objective opinions. Thank you!
