A:Hypomania is the milder form of mania, defined as at least four days of the same criteria as mania, but which does not cause a significant decrease in the individual's ability to socialize or work, lacks psychotic features such as delusions or hallucinations, and does not require psychiatric hospitalization. Overall functioning may actually increase during episodes of hypomania and is thought to serve as a defense mechanism against depression by some. It is rare for a full-on manic episode to result from a hypomanic episode. Some people who experience hypomania show increased creativity while others are irritable or demonstrate poor judgment. B:If you knew someone that had a diagnosis of mania, and you knew that they tended to become uncharacteristically creative during hypomanic episodes, would witnessing this person's sudden desire to start writing or drawing be a cause for immediate concern? Answer: bmw

A:After ending his partnership with Martin in 1956, Lewis and his wife Patty took a vacation in Las Vegas to consider the direction of his career. He felt his life was in a crisis state: "I was unable to put one foot in front of the other with any confidence. I was completely unnerved to be alone".

B:If Lewis were to answer Sid Luft's call, and work as a substitute for Judy Garland in Las Vegas, does it sound like he would try to rehash his familiar routines on stage? Answer: exists
