[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 58076, member: 23"] I was looking for examples of differences, but didn't have any luck. They sound so similar on paper, that I like to get examples to understand the differences. Will share what I found, but doubt it will help.... [url="http://www.adhdinfo.com/info/tools/global_glossary.jsp"]http://www.adhdinfo.com/info/tools/global_glossary.jsp[/url] Hyperactivity - Excessively active. A hyperactive child usually has difficulty sticking to one task for an extended period and may react more intensely to a situation than a normal child. Hypomania - A stage of the manic-depressive cycle, characterized by mild mania. Mania - Characteristic of Bipolar Disorder, defined by insomnia, hypersexuality, rapid alternation between happiness and touchiness, and scattered thought patterns. [url="http://www.helpguide.org/mental/bipolar_disorder_symptoms_treatment.htm"]http://www.helpguide.org/mental/bipolar_disorder_symptoms_treatment.htm[/url] Hypomania (Hypomanic Episode) Hypomania is a less severe form of mania. People in a hypomanic state feel euphoric, energetic, and productive, but their symptoms are milder than those of mania and cause less impairment to functioning. Unlike manics, people with hypomania never suffer from delusions and hallucinations. They are able to carry on with their day-to-day lives. To others, it may seem as if the hypomanic individual is merely in an unusually good mood. But unfortunately, hypomania often escalates to full-blown mania or is followed by a major depressive episode. [/QUOTE]
