Hipomania is a mood state characterized by elevated or irritable mood, increased energy, and heightened activity levels. It is less severe than full-blown mania and is often associated with bipolar disorder. Individuals experiencing hipomania may feel more productive, social, and confident, but they can also exhibit impulsive behavior. While hipomania can lead to positive feelings and creativity, it may also result in negative consequences, such as poor decision-making or strained relationships. Recognizing the signs of hipomania is important for managing mental health and preventing escalation into more severe mood episodes.
