Mania is a state of abnormally elevated mood and increased energy.[2] Symptoms often include increased talkativeness, rapid speech, easy distractibility, hyperactivity, and a decreased need for sleep.[1] This occurs to a degree that functioning is negatively affected.[1] Complications may include spending excessive money, starting businesses unprepared, traveling, or promiscuity.[1]
A single episode of mania is sufficient to make the diagnosis of bipolar I disorder.[1] The underlying cause is not clear but is believed to involved a combination of genetics, social, and psychological factors.[1] Diagnosis requires the symptoms to be present for at least a week or be of a degree that hospitalization is required.[2][1] Hypomania is less severe and may occur for shorter periods.[1]
Treatment may include antipsychotics such as haloperidol and lithium.[1] Outcomes are generally good.[1] Mania affects about 4% of people at some point in time.[1] Males and females are affected equally frequently.[1] The typical age of onset is 25.[1] Mania was first clearly described by Hippocrates around 400 BC.[3]
