There are also hypomanic episodes experienced by sufferers, which are characterized by excess energy and mild to moderate mania (observable in activity, speech and as generally high optimism).
A hypomanic episode exhibits symptoms that are, in intensity, just below a manic episode yet still cause significant social or occupational distress.
A few who suffer primarily from hypomanic episodes are high achievers who work long hours and require little sleep.
