This is a good "quote" from the National Alliance on Mental Illness website for the symptoms of mania.
What are the symptoms of mania?
Mania is the word that describes the activated phase of bipolar disorder. The symptoms of mania may include:- either an elated, happy mood or an irritable, angry, unpleasant mood
- increased physical and mental activity and energy
- racing thoughts and flight of ideas
- increased talking, more rapid speech than normal
- ambitious, often grandiose plans
- risk taking
- impulsive activity such as spending sprees, alcohol abuse
- decreased sleep without experiencing fatigue
I share this quote to educate those who may not know or understand what mania is.
