Hypomania

Hypomania: On Beyond Blue, I focus mainly on the problem of sadness, because 99 percent of the time that’s what I am harassed with, and I figure you, too. However, I think it’s very important to discuss mania and hypomania because they can be just as, if not, more damaging to your health as depression.
The cause why bipolar disorder sometimes takes up to 10 years to be diagnosed properly is because no one complains to a doctor that she has more power than common, is super well-organized at work, and for some reason doesn’t need to look at her self-esteem file to feel okay! I mean, seriously, we want those symptoms to last … forever … if we can swing it. So the primary doc or the psychiatric specialist only gets the depression part, not knowing that it’s the bloody cycling that’s the problem.
