Hypomania is different from mania in that:
A. Hypomania does not cause impaired social or occupational functioning
B. Hypomania does not require hospitalization
C. Mania can endure for a longer period of time than hypomania
D. A and B
ANS: D
Hypomanic episodes differ from manic episodes in the degree of severity. Hypomanic episodes are not usually sufficiently severe to cause marked impairment in social or occupational functioning or to require hospitalization (APA, 2013). They may, however, evolve into fully manic episodes. The mnemonic "DIG FAST" is helpful for remembering the critical criteria for mania (see Box 17.11).
