Question: What is the difference between Hypomania and Hyperactivity in the ADHD sense!?
Answers:
Hypomania is generally associated with bipolar disorder, not ADHD!. It involves excessive energy, racing thoughts, risky behavior, and grandiose thoughts or delusions, among other things!. A person with Bipolar II disorder will cycle between hypomania and depression!.

Hyperactivity is the "H" in ADHD!. It describes a state in which the person is very excitable/energetic/"hyper"!. However, it affects an unmedicated person with ADHD at almost all times, and it does not have the delusional, grandiose, etc!. symptoms that hypomania carries!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
