Hypomania [View all]

Does anyone here have any experience with this? Someone I care about has been diagnosed with OCD (thoughts) and depression. On occasion there is what I think is hypomania - it can last a day or two and is sometimes related to missed medication. There’s a family history of bipolar disorder.
