[edit] Manic episode
Main article: Mania
Mania is generally characterized by a distinct period of an elevated, expansive, or irritable mood state!. People commonly experience an increase in energy and a decreased need for sleep!. A person's speech may be pressured, with thoughts experienced as racing!. Attention span is low and a person in a manic state may be easily distracted!. Judgment may become impaired; sufferers may go on spending sprees or engage in behavior that is quite abnormal for them!. They may indulge in substance abuse, particularly alcohol or other depressants, cocaine or other stimulants, or sleeping pills!. Their behavior may become aggressive or intrusive!. People may feel out of control or unstoppable!. People may feel they have been "chosen", are "on a special mission", or other grandiose or delusional ideas!. Sexual drive may increase!. At more extreme phases, a person in a manic state can begin to experience psychosis, or a break with reality, where thinking is affected along with mood!. Many people in a manic state experience severe anxiety and are very irritable (to the point of rage), while others are euphoric and grandiose!.
In order to be diagnosed with mania according to DSM-IV a person must experience this state of elevated or irritable mood, as well as other symptoms, for at least one week, less if hospitalization is required!. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, "A manic episode is diagnosed if elevated mood occurs with three or more of the other symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, for 1 week or longer!. If the mood is irritable, four additional symptoms must be present!."
Hypomania is generally a less extreme state than mania, and people in the hypomanic phase generally experience fewer symptoms of mania than those in a full-blown manic episode!. During an episode, one might feel an uncontrollable impulse to laugh at things he or she does not normally find funny!.[citation needed] The duration is usually also shorter than in mania!. This is often a very "artistic" state of the disorder, in which a flight of ideas, extremely clever thinking, and an increase in energy can occur!.
In the context of bipolar disorder, a mixed state is a condition during which symptoms of mania and clinical depression occur simultaneously (for example, agitation, anxiety, aggressiveness or belligerence, confusion, fatigue, impulsiveness, insomnia, irritability, morbid and/or suicidal ideation, panic, paranoia, persecutory delusions, pressured speech, racing thoughts, restlessness, and rage)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

this is only an opinion I am not a doctor!. so you have to question everything I write!. this is one thing I am glad I don't have!. I think somehow someway there used to be this thing called manic / depressive disorder and now I think many people call this bipolar disorder!. I had one "friend' who had it!. he was diagnosed with it!. super happy one moment and super sad and angry another!. back and forth all the time!. I may get down a bit but they go sadder and lower than most people!. but there is always hope!. Sir Winston Churchill was diagnosed with manic / depressive disorder!. and he saved English and in doing so helped save the free world!. maybe to go up against a guy like Hitler you need some one who can out think him because he is "crazier"!. I personally think everyone is a little bit crazy!. but bipolar would not be fun because it would not be enjoyable going through the sad cycles!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
