"Yes they do. Most illegal drugs turn on "addiction genes", which tend to activate parts of the brain that are involved in the maintainance of reward seeking behavior and drug seeking behavior"
And this is far, far from the belief-structure that hypomania can be maintained. No drug can CREATE such a belief -- people create beliefs. For the record, I've spent a lot lot lot of time around methamphetamine users (I was one) and no one ever thought what they were doing was sustainable.
The rest of your post is "I don't believe the literature on hyperthymia". Heh, whatever. I agree that most hyperthymics might get sad once in a while. I would still rather be hyperthymic MOST OF THE TIME, which is what for all intents and purposes I am referring to.
Peace,
