What are Mania and Hypomania?
Mania and Hypomania are mood states often associated with Bipolar Disorder and other mood disorders. They involve periods of elevated, expansive, or irritable mood accompanied by changes in energy, activity levels, and cognition.
- Mania is more intense, often significantly impacting daily functioning and sometimes requiring hospitalization.
- Hypomania is milder but can still disrupt relationships, work, and decision-making.
Common symptoms include:
- Increased energy, activity, and restlessness
- Racing thoughts and rapid speech
- Impulsive or risky behaviors
- Decreased need for sleep
- Heightened irritability or euphoria
- Difficulty focusing or making decisions
Early recognition and evidence-based treatment are essential to stabilize mood, reduce risk, and improve quality of life.
Who struggles with Mania and Hypomania?
Mania and Hypomania can affect adolescents, adults, and individuals with mood disorders, including:
- People with Bipolar I or II Disorder
- Individuals experiencing cyclothymic disorder
- Those with co-occurring conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, or substance use disorders
- Anyone experiencing sudden changes in mood, energy, or behavior impacting daily life
Left untreated, mania and hypomania can lead to relationship conflict, risky decision-making, occupational challenges, and long-term emotional distress.
