Hyperthymia is a personality type or temperament characterised by happiness, high energy levels, extroversion, productiveness and creativity. Hyperthymia is the psychiatric opposite of dysthymia. [1]

Hyperthymia can be regarded as denoting a psychological trait, unlike hypomania, which describes a psychological state. [2]
