About Me

HYPOMANIA:According to the DSM-IV-TR, a hypomanic episode includes, over the course of at least 4 days, three or four of the following symptoms, depending on whether the predominant mood state is elation or irritability: • inflated self-esteem or grandiosity; • decreased need for sleep; • being more talkative than usual or feeling pressure from within the thought process to keep talking (i.e., cannot stop until the story is done); • flight of ideas or the subjective experience that thoughts are racing; • easy distractibility and attention-deficit (superficially similar to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder); • increase in psychomotor agitation; and • steep involvement in pleasurable activities that may have a high potential for negative psycho-social or physical consequences.In the hypomanic state, people may feel like they can't slow their mind down, and that all these speeding thoughts are amazingly perfectly crafted. Some examples would be speaking or writing in rhyme or alliteration without planning it first; quick responses to people talking; or the ability to improvise easily on the spot. In more severe cases, hypomanic people may actually hear constant music in their head, or see images in their mind racing by.[citation needed] A very strange but possible symptom is actually emotional flattening, also known as blunted affect. A person may seem cold, uncaring, or arrogant. They may show little emotion at all.Possible Benefits of Hypomania:People with hypomania are generally perceived as being energetic, euphoric, overflowing with new ideas, and sometimes highly confident and charismatic, and unlike full-blown mania, they are sufficiently capable of coherent thought and action to participate in everyday activities. One in the state of hypomania might be immune to fear and doubt and have little social inhibition. They may talk to strangers easily, offer solutions to problems, and find pleasure in small activities.Treatment:It is unknown to what degree hypomanic symptoms can occur without a depressive component. Patients may be relatively unlikely to seek psychiatric treatment for hypomania alone. However, many hypomanic patients experience: • lower need for sleep • racing thoughts • obsessional behavior, whether mild or severe • poor judgment relative to a particular situation's judgment call • uncontrollable, or only partially controllable, impulsivity • excessive sexual activity
