Mania:
mild euphoria, a flood of ideas, endless energy, and a desire and drive for success.
decreased need for sleep.
extremely outgoing and daring.
rapid talking.
obsessive behavior, whether mild or severe
poor judgment relative to a particular situation's judgment call
uncontrollable, or only partially controllable, impulsivity
excessive sexual activity
involvement in pleasurable activities that may have
a high potential for negative psycho-social or physical consequences.
They do not lose touch with reality in the sense that they know who they are and what is real.
In the hypomanic state, people may feel like they can't slow their mind down, and that the speeding thoughts
are crafted exceptionally well.
Some examples are 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.
There are large circles of studies that suggest that hypomania actually has an evolutionary advantage. People with hypomania are generally perceived as being energetic, euphoric, visionary, overflowing with new ideas, and sometimes over-confident and very charismatic. Unlike full-blown mania, they are sufficiently capable of coherent thought and action to participate in everyday activities. A person in the state of hypomania might be immune to fear and doubt and have little social inhibition. People experiencing hypomania are the typical "life of the party". They may talk to strangers easily, offer solutions to problems, and find pleasure in small activities.
