	Research on Bipolar I and II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The researchers, led by Giovanni Cassano from the University of Pisa in Italy, assessed the occurrence of manic and hypomanic episodes in a group of 117 patients with remitted recurrent unipolar depression and 106 with bipolar I disorder.
		Of the hypomanic symptoms most common in bipolar II DMX, only irritability and racing thoughts were significantly associated with bipolar II diagnosis on discriminant analysis.
		History of past hypomanic episodes and presence of hypomanic symptoms during the index MDE were systematically recorded.

		Hypomanic episodes are distinct periods of persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood lasting at least four days.
		The mood is also accompanied by additional symptoms, such as: inflated self-esteem or grandiosity; a decreased need for sleep; pressured speech; flight of ideas; distractibility; increased involvement in goal-directed activities or psychomotor agitation; and excessive involvement in pleasurable and high-risk activities.
		In contrast to a manic episode, a hypomanic episode is not severe enough to cause marked impairment in social or occupational functioning or to require hospitalization.

	Lamotrigine: A Significant Advance for Treatment of Bipolar Depression
		Hence, if a bipolar 1 depressed patient experiences a manic or hypomanic episode while on a given medication, the episode might have been triggered by the medication or the episode might have been the natural expression of the course of the disorder and the medication played no role.
		The best way to ascertain whether a medication has a tendency to induce manic and hypomanic episodes in bipolar disorder patients is to examine the incidence of manic and hypomanic episodes in patients on the active medication in comparison to those on placebo.
		The incidence of manic and hypomanic episodes was examined in bipolar 1 depressed patients on lamotrigine monotherapy, compared with those treated with placebo monotherapy for 7 weeks (2).

	Hypomania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bipolar II disorder is characterized by at least one major depressive episode and at least one hypomanic episode that does not progress into psychotic mania.
		Cyclothymia is a condition of continued mood fluctuations between hypomania and depression of lower intensity than would be expected in bipolar disorder and sometimes interspersed with periods of normal moods.
		John Gartner's The Hypomanic Edge (Simon and Schuster) contends that notable "Americans" including Christopher Columbus, Alexander Hamilton, Andrew Carnegie, Louis B Mayer, and Craig Venter (who mapped the human genome) owe their innovativeness and drive, as well as their eccentricities, to hypomanic temperaments.

		Hypomanic and mixed episodes (and, respectively) can occur, as well as significant subthreshold mood lability between episodes.
		Finally, cyclothymic disorder may be diagnosed in those patients who have never experienced a manic, mixed, or major depressive episode but who experience numerous periods of depressive symptoms and numerous periods of hypomanic symptoms for at least 2 years (1 year in children), with no symptom-free period greater than 2 months.
		For example, a patient with antidepressant-induced hypomanic symptoms would be considered to have a form of bipolar disorder under the spectrum conceptualization.

	Cyclothymia - Depression symptoms, causes, and treatments including clinical and manic depression.
		Longitudinal follow-up studies indicate that the risk of bipolar disorder developing in patients with cyclothymia is about 33 percent; although 33 times greater than that for the general population, this rate of risk still is too low to justify viewing cyclothymia as merely an early manifestation of bipolar type I disorder.
		Hypomanic symptoms are similar to manic episode symptoms (see below) but are much shorter in duration (a minimum of four days).
		A hypomanic episode is diagnosed if elevated mood occurs with 3 or more of the other symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, for four days or longer.

	Hypomanic Episode Differential Diagnosis
		If it is judged that the hypomanic symptoms are not the direct physiological consequence of the general medical condition, then the primary Mood Disorder is recorded on Axis I (e.g., Bipolar II Disorder) and the general medical condition is recorded on Axis III (e.g., myocardial infarction).
		Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is distinguished from a Hypomanic Episode by its characteristic early onset (i.e., before age 7 years), chronic rather than episodic course, lack of relatively clear onsets and offsets, and the absence of abnormally expansive or elevated mood.
		A Hypomanic Episode must be distinguished from euthymia, particularly in individuals who have been chronically depressed and are unaccustomed to the experience of a nondepressed mood state.

	THE HYPOMANIC EDGE -- Reviews
		Cass claims that the majority of his patients are hypomanic, and though he treats them for the problems that hypomania can produce - depression, burnout, substance abuse, wrecked relationships - he also recognizes its advantages.
		But instead of spiraling into debilitating manias and then into a paralyzing depression, hypomanics generally experience only the invigorating effects of the onset of mania and usually emerge from it without professional help (though sometimes a period of mild depression follows).
		Indeed, while hypomania has been the subject of relatively little research and clinical attention, there are a handful of studies indicating that people in a hypomanic state are more flexible and creative in their thinking, are more motivated and productive, and have more positive expectations for the future.

	Cyclothymia
		Cyclothymia is a less severe form of bipolar disorder, the latter of which results in extreme swings between manic or hypomanic episodes and major depressive episodes.
		Hypomanic symptoms may be present in both bipolar disorder and cyclothymia.
		The hypomanic and depressive episodes of cyclothymia generally don't prevent people with the disorder from engaging in their normal activities at work or school or in social situations.

	Fine-Art.com - Community - Hypomanic? Absolutely. But, Oh so productive
		In recent decades, scientists have found that bipolar disorder is widely variable, and that its milder forms are marked by hypomanias, currents of mental energy and concentration that are less reckless than full-blown manic frenzies, and unspoiled, in many cases, by subsequent gloom.
		New research helps explain how people with manic or hypomanic tendencies navigate the small triumphs and humiliations of daily life, and provides clues to how some of them quickly shake off the emotional troughs that their ambitious natures should make inevitable.
		In a new book, "Exuberance," Dr. Jamison argues that flights of joyous energy similar to hypomanic states frequently accompany scientific and literary inspiration.Psychiatrists have known for more than a century that bipolar disorder, unlike any other mental illness, is often associated with some financial and professional accomplishment.

		A hypomanic episode is not a disorder in itself, but rather is a description of a part of a type of bipolar disorder.
		A hypomanic episode is characterized by a distinct period of persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood, lasting throughout at least 4 days, that is clearly different from the person's usual mood.
		The observable symptoms of a hypomanic episode must not be due to substance use or abuse (e.g., alcohol, drugs, medications) or caused by a general medical condition (e.g., hyperthyroidism or diabetes).

		John Gartner, who studied successful businesspeople in his recent book, "The Hypomanic Edge: The Link Between A Little Craziness and A Lot of Success in America," says that the most successful entrepreneurs are "somewhat manic in their single mindedness." Apple CEO Steve Jobs comes to mind.
		A hypomanic shares some of the same characteristics of a manic depressive, but he doesn't suffer from a psychiatric disorder." Hypomanics "don't think outside the box, because they don't even see the box," Gartner says.
		Hypomanics do not lose touch with reality, which is the key chacteristic of mania.

		Bipolar disorder is a combination of depression and manic or hypomanic episodes.
		Diagnosis of Bipolar I is given when the depression is mixed with manic episodes, Bipolar II when the depression is mixed with hypomanic episodes.
		Of course, for the person undergoing these changes, the manic episodes are much more enjoyable, even though they eventually have to face the consequences of their behavior (bills, financial trouble, relationship problems, etc.).

	LMD \| Ideas for Coping \| Bipolar Disorder and Sports
		Over the years I've been able to map my hypomanic and depression cycles and their effects pretty well, and one of the interesting side effects of being hypomanic (mildly manic) is that I am quite a lot better at exercise / sports.
		The fact that I can use it to trigger a hypomanic episode and normal people can't do that is a happy happenstance for me, more in keeping conceptually with the idea that some East Asian herb (and why does it always have to be an Asian herb?) is used by one athlete to boost endurance.
		I admit that at present not sleeping isn't quite as reliable a trigger for the hypomanic episode as upping the antidepressant, but by trying it a few times and monitoring what happens would allow me to fine tune missing sleep so that it is a very reliable trigger.

		Hypomanic episodes may resemble manic episodes in symptoms.
		However, hypomanics can also be, "impulsive, act without thinking, try the most improbable schemes, and fail in the most dramatic and silly ways".

	Mind > Information > Factsheets and booklets by subject > Specific mental health issues > Hypomania
		Hypomania is a bit difficult to define, because the term seems to be used slightly differently by different doctors, and the criteria for the diagnosis are slightly different in ICD-10[1]and DSM-IV[2] (the reference books which give standard symptoms for the diagnosis of different conditions).
		A manic episode differs from a hypomanic episode, in that, it is severe enough to have an adverse effect on a person’s work, relationships or usual social activities.
		Although manic episodes and hypomanic episodes have identical lists of characteristic symptoms, the mood disturbance in hypomanic episodes is not sufficiently severe to cause marked impairment in social or occupational functioning or to require hospitalisation.

	The Hypomanic American [article]
		They argue that the United States is full of energetic risk-takers because it's full of immigrants, who as a group may carry a genetic marker that expresses itself as restless curiosity, exuberance and competitive self-promotion - a combination known as hypomania.
		There might be something to that in the case of people who instigate great migrations, but the fact is they will drag their non-manic relatives with them.
		I don't think they claim that if you move great distances then you automatically must be hypomanic, or that everyone who's ever immigrated to America has been hypomanic.

	Hypomanic Episode Symptoms
		This section describes the clinical symptoms of a hypomanic episode employed by psychiatrists and other mental health professionals as part of the diagnostic criteria for manic depression (Bipolar Disorder) and other mood disorders.
		More information about diagnostic labels is available on the page on the DSM and ICD; a complete list of DSM codes is also available.
		Because the lists of symptoms for major depressive, manic, hypomanic and mixed episodes play closely interrelated roles in the diagnosis of mood disorders, all are included here separately.
