WHAT DOES HYPERTHYMIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Hyperthymic temperament

Hyperthymic temperament, or hyperthymia, from Greek hyper + θυμός, is a proposed personality type characterized by an excessively positive disposition similar to, but more stable than, the hypomania of bipolar disorder. Characteristics of the hyperthymic temperament are: ▪ increased energy and productivity ▪ short sleep patterns ▪ vividness, activity extroversion ▪ self-assurance, self-confidence ▪ strong will ▪ extreme talkativeness ▪ tendency to repeat oneself ▪ risk-taking/sensation seeking ▪ breaking social norms ▪ very strong libido ▪ love of attention ▪ low threshold for boredom ▪ generosity and tendency to overspend ▪ emotion sensitivity ▪ cheerfulness and joviality ▪ unusual warmth ▪ expansiveness ▪ tirelessness ▪ irrepressibility, infectious quality The clinical, psychiatric understanding of hyperthymia is evolving. There is not much recent scientific or professional literature on it aside from historical writings on the dimensions of depressive illness, and a lack of agreement on its definition, implications or whether it is pathological.
