message: "A lesser form of "hypomania" is called hyperthymia, which is essentially a normal human emotion commonly called happiness." 
Should anyone have any problems with the legitimacy of the last sentence of the first paragraph, please, before editing, present your complaints in this "talk" section, and we might be able to reach some sort of compromise regarding the objectivity and stylistic delivery of this contrapunctual conclusion to the introduction, which accomplishes the goal of "making people think", a common goal of all encyclopedias, public or private.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddd1600 (talk • contribs) 01:52, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Regarding the last sentence of the first paragraph

message: The unmitigated deletion of certain comments merely noting the non-holistic nature of diagnoses of hypomania, viz. the crediting of mood as the sole progenitor of hypomanic symptoms, constitues a potential violation of neutrality. More important than the actual deletion is the due process by which it was deleted. Instead of wholesale destruction of potentially enriching content, compromise instead of total suppression should be advocated. Furthermore, the recent deletion itself needs to be reviewed, and the agent of its deletion should be put under review if only for the reason that he/she has, in all likelihood, destroyed several other additions in a questionable manner. The definition of neutrality is not hegemony. Quasi-oppositional views on any subject only serve to stimulate active (as opposed to passive) thinking and academic liberality should be a cornerstone value of wikipedia's mission. Only with a "point, counterpoint" style can true neutrality be reached.  
In addition, perhaps more importantly, the ability to delete content should be reserved for only for tenured wikipedia users. At the very least, the user should be signed in.

replies: text: To introduce "hyperthymia" in relation to this so-called condition, seems to imply that happiness is also a relatively pathological condition. Imo it needs to go. Latin doesn't help what's normal to present as normal. Manytexts (talk) 00:31, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Clean up

message: I can sort of see the point of this section but I would criticse the following aspects of it:
1) It mentions only famous people in the last 30-40 years, and the sorts of people mentioned means perhaps the title should be "Famous People in Popular Culture with Hypomanic Symptoms" or "Famous Rock Stars with Hypomanic Symptoms".  Maybe we can add a more diverse range of examples?   Artists, for example? 
2) Does someone reading an entry about Hypomania need to know that Mojo magazine describes Richey Edwards as fatalistic?  
3) Should there be sources provided? ie: where it was first reported that these people were/had been hypomanic?

replies: text: I object to the presence of that section, too. In the event that the section becomes of good quality, it might be better for it to be put in another article page, but for the meanwhile I would just delete it. Twipley (talk) 23:51, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Famous people with hypomanic symptoms 

message: I had a huge [anic attack last nite.I was contemplating running my car into a wall, just so nobody ele could hit. I went to the ER, diagnosed me with a severe anxiety disorder. As I was reading, I cam across hypomania. It sound just like me! Is it possile to have both disorders at the same time?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiajean (talk • contribs) 20:28, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hypomania & anxiety 

message: While hypomania is "less severe" than a manic attack of Bi-Polar I, this entire article, including the mention of benefits and famous people who have benefited from this so-called wonder of an illness, fail to mention that hypomania has severe consequences. It basically means you DON'T have frequent breaks with reality. The symptoms, while perhaps less severe than Bi-Polar I, can become entirely noticable for their strangeness, and are very dangerous. Having the book mentioned as a legitimate part of the article is just morally irresponsible. If people looking at this for help is unavoidable, then we should at least be very careful.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.198.100.165 (talk • contribs) 
I completely agree. Furthermore, hallmark symptoms are hypersexuality and reckless spending. Regarding consequences of a hypomanic episode as beneficial is both off the mark and potentially dangerous.Statethatiamin (talk) 15:38, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Mentioning "benefits"

message: Aside from the aforementioned issues with the article, the text itself is highly repetitive, reiterating the same handful of ideas and concepts from section to section almost verbatim. This needs to be fixed.

message: Howard Zinn is NOT mentioned in Gartner's Hypomanic Edge book. This uncited statement, now being spread through numerous quotations of this entry, should be deleted. Streakoflight (talk) 06:18, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I checked both on amazon and google books, and you are right, zero results for Zinn. So I removed his name. Thank you for telling us! Lova Falk talk 07:06, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
