Opposite of clinical depression

Is there such a 'disorder' where someone is ALWAYS fucking overly happy as opposed to always depressed?

I'm thinking of some kind of chemical imbalance where the subject is always happy.

Shed some light PEOPLE!

something of that sort exists, can't remember the name though. the person also felt that everyone intended to do good to them and always helped them out.

I am not 100% on wether a person can only be manic, which is what you're referring to. I know someone can go through manic periods but as for being manic all the time I don't think so. maybe a fluctuation b/t baseline and manic instead of manic and depressive, i'm pretty sure that happens. It is a serious disorder though, not some "disorder" that would be fun to live with.

Nah, I don't have it. But I can imagine it would be much better to live with than depression, which again, I do not have.

I don't see how it can be difficult to live with if one was in a permanent state of euphoria.

I'm sure it has it's downers? But then again, if you were constantly HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY AHHHHHHH HAPPY then even negative things wouldn't matter. Meh.

It's called hypomania http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypomania.  I'm clinically depressed and of course would much rather be a hypomaniac even if it does come with a possibility of psychosis :smile:.

I read that page on hypomania and some of it doesn't fit me. But if there is some condition that causes a person to be overly happy then I've most likely got it. It drives my wife fucking nuts that I am always content, happy, easy-going, easy to please, and just generally pleasant. It is a very, very rare thing that I have any kind of depression, and even the biggest problems in life do almost nothing to fluster me.

your wife sounds supportive. :thumbup:

On another note, this sounds like it wouldn't be a burden at all. happiness is happiness. I can't believe they are medicating people for something like this.

Yeah, sounds funny that she'd get bothered by me being happy.  But when I just don't take anything seriously I can see how it gets annoying.  If the house ever burnt down I'd probably be sitting back roasting marshmallows with the neighbors and making wisecracks about what a nice fire it was.
:grin:

My girlfriend gets annoyed with me sometimes because I don't have any big problems in my life. I don't really take anything seriously besides my philosophy and my art.

I can understand your situation most certainly.

Well, I'm bipolar so I get mania but then comes the dreaded depression..I'm on the lower end of the spectrum now, fucking hell. Hopefully mescaline will heal me..many people say it's a great psychological & spiritual healing agent. Yes Omni, my dr00gz haven't come yet, they better fucking come tomorrow.

The reason they medicate people for mania is because it interferes with their getting anything productive done in life and hinders interpersonal relationships. imagine not sleeping, running from one radical idea to another fully investing yourself financially and physically/emotionally, thought and speech are rapid, frantic, and jumbled, sense of abilities and what not can inflate to an unreasonable level, plus whatever other crap I can't think of right now. (there is much more)
