Hypomania

Hypomania would theoretically be related to an excessive activation of the left side of the brain relative to the right, as depression would be related to excessive activation of the right.  I teach that HEG should be used at least on both sides of the forehead in every session. Activating the left tends to help brighten mood.  Right tends to help with emotional stability and social integration (around F8).  The only thing I’m especially aware of is that training in the center may not be a great idea for people who are obsessive or have compulsive behaviors. With that kind of client, I might start off with 4 sites (Fp1, Fp2, F7 and F8) and work down probably to 2 (left edge of the forehead and right edge) as training moves up to around 6 minutes per site or higher.  In most cases, though, I train the center as well.
