original passage: 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. Hypomanic episodes rarely progress to full-blown manic episodes. Some people who experience hypomania show increased creativity while others are irritable or demonstrate poor judgment.

sentence2: If someone had previously suffered from debilitating manic episodes, and after making great progress against the worst effects, started to display symptoms of hypomania such as poor judgment and irritability, would this passage lead you to think that this was a relatively positive outcome, given the likelihood of hypomania progressing?
