    There's a fine line, and It's what makes diagnosing bipolar disorder very difficult for psychologists...because both of those are often in a positive, upbeat mood. What they have to distinguish, is if they display "risky" behaviors, like expensive shopping sprees (when they can't afford it), random business investments, gambling, prostitution, and taking drugs, for example. Because a person is who is in a positive, but also a healthy state of mind, will probably not do those things. Psychosis often occurs with full-blown mania, and because hospitalization is usually required, it's a lot easier to diagnose than hypomania, the lesser form of mania that many people have that goes unnoticed.

    The opinion of who it is defining the capability of the person in question when it has not yet been tested...the actual results after it has.

    Positive thinking is having an attitude where you expect positive and good results. Visions of grandeur, or rather delusions of grandeur, at thinking more of yourself. You think you are more talented, likable, or powerful than you actually are.
