Mood Swings: Mania
Symptoms
Individuals with mood
disorders experience episodes of mania and depression with some, or all,
of the following symptoms associated.
Mania
- Abnormally elevated mood
- Irritability
- Decreased need for sleep
- Grandiose ideas or notions
- Increased talking
- Racing thoughts
- Increased activity
- An increase in sexual activity
- Visible increase in energy
- Poor judgment that leads to
risk-taking behavior
- Inappropriate social behavior
People with mood disorder
and mood swings can lead healthy and productive lives when the disorder
is effectively treated. Without treatment, however, the natural course
of mood disorder tends to worsen. Previous experiences may build on the
next cycle. Over time a person may suffer more frequent (more
rapid-cycling) and more severe manic and depressive episodes than those
experienced when the mood swings first appeared. But in most cases,
proper treatment can help reduce the frequency and severity of episodes
and can help people with mood disorder maintain good quality of life.
