53 - What is Hypomania?

I am interviewed about my most recent hypomanic episode in September 2019 by my friend, Chris. We discuss my transition into clinical medicine, and what symptoms I felt during my hypomanic episode. "Feeling energized and exhausted at the same time" is the best way I can describe this feeling. In the midst of creativity, joy, and inspirational, hypomania also makes me feel irrationally irritated and angered. I discuss how I've learned to expect and manage hypomania through exercise, sleep, stress management, and setting expectations.
