French term or phrase:Hypersyntonie
I note that there are more Google hits for this French term than its supposed English cognate (hypersyntonia) - what *do* we call it in English? Or do the French just write about it more than the Anglo-Saxons?
This term appears in a list of symptoms experienced by patients with bipolar disorder; I doubt that quoting other elements from the list would add much in terms of useful context.
Any assistance in establishing the preferred English term would be most welcome.

Grading comment
Thanks for this - I ran with a paraphrase along these lines in the end.
Reference information: I'm not sure what the correct answer is, but if you take a look at page number 8 (right at the bottom of the page) of the following text, it explains where the term "syntonia" came from in relation to schizoid behaviour. Here, the author seems to use the term "hyper-sensitivity" as a synonym for "hyper-syntonia" and "hyper-sensitivity" gets a good 500-odd hits in relation to bipolar disorders.
The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
