Final Answer :
Key terms and concepts that may be included in student responses:
▪ Hypomania involves the same symptoms as mania, but the episodes are milder.
▪ The major difference is that in hypomania these symptoms are not severe enough to interfere with daily functioning, do not involve hallucinations or delusions, and last at least four consecutive days (rather than a week).
