Evaluation for Psych 101[edit]
There is not much information about this subject at all. There needs to be a lot more information added to it then what there is now. You can add stuff like what the definition is and symptoms of it and maybe how you treat it. Also it needs more references. --Banderson158 (talk) 02:50, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
The introduction also seems (even after stripping out all the jargon) to be unduly pessimistic. It isn't hard at all to find scientific literature using the word 'hyperthymia', referencing definitional publications, talking about using it in epidemiological studies. It just doesn't seem to be as up-in-the-air as the article makes it sound.
Maybe it is for psychiatrists?

It's not, hyperthymia isn't a diagnosis and almost never presents itself in clinical practice. It's part of the 'extended genotype' of bipolar disorder like the other temperaments of Akiskal and Kraepelin, inc. cyclothymia and dysthymia.[1] Hyperthymia may lead to bipolar disorder later down the line[2], but it is not in itself considered a mental illness or cause for concern or psychiatric treatment. 24.22.123.93 (talk) 01:43, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
