== Classification ==
=== Mixed states ===
{{Main|Mixed affective state}}

In a [[mixed affective state]], the individual, though meeting the general criteria for a [[Hypomania|hypomanic]] (discussed below) or manic episode, experiences three or more concurrent [[Major Depressive Disorder|depressive]] symptoms. This has caused some speculation, among clinicians{{Who|date=February 2024}}, that mania and depression, rather than constituting "true" polar opposites, are, rather, two independent axes in a unipolar—bipolar spectrum.

A mixed affective state, especially with prominent manic symptoms, places the patient at a greater risk for [[suicide]]. [[Major Depressive Disorder|Depression]] on its own is a risk factor but, when coupled with an increase in energy and goal-directed activity, the patient is far more likely to act on [[suicidal]] impulses.

=== Hypomania ===
{{Main|Hypomania}}

[[Hypomania]], which means "less than mania",<ref>{{Cite book|title=Break the Bipolar Cycle: A Day by Day Guide to Living with Bipolar Disorder|last1=Brondolo|first1=Elizabeth|last2=Amador|first2=Xavier|publisher=McGraw Hill Professional|year=2008|isbn=978-0071481533|location=New York|pages=[https://archive.org/details/breakbipolarcycl00bron/page/11 11]|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/breakbipolarcycl00bron/page/11}}</ref> is a lowered state of mania that does not always impair function or decrease quality of life.<ref name="NAMI2007">{{cite web|url=http://www.nami.org/Content/ContentGroups/bp_and_Schizophrenia_Digest/The_Many_Faces_and_Facets_of_BP.htm|title=The many faces & facets of BP|date=July 2007|author=NAMI|access-date=2008-10-02|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090616102847/http://www.nami.org/Content/ContentGroups/bp_and_Schizophrenia_Digest/The_Many_Faces_and_Facets_of_BP.htm|archive-date=2009-06-16}}</ref> Although [[creativity]] and hypomania have been historically linked, a review and meta-analysis exploring this relationship found that this assumption may be too general and empirical research evidence is lacking.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1745691617699653|title=Creativity and Mood Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis|date=September 2017|author=Christa L.

=== Associated disorders ===
A single manic episode, in the absence of secondary causes, (i.e., [[substance use disorder]]s, certain [[medication]]s, or general [[medical conditions]]) is often sufficient to diagnose [[bipolar I disorder]]. [[Hypomania]] may be indicative of [[bipolar II disorder]]. Manic episodes are often complicated by [[delusion]]s and/or [[hallucination]]s; and if the [[Psychosis|psychotic]] features persist for a duration significantly longer than the episode of typical mania (two weeks or more), a diagnosis of [[schizoaffective disorder]] is more appropriate. 

Certain [[obsessive–compulsive spectrum]] disorders as well as [[impulse-control disorder]]s share the suffix "-mania," namely, [[kleptomania]], [[pyromania]], and [[trichotillomania]]. Despite the unfortunate association implied by the name, however, no connection exists between mania or [[bipolar disorder]] and these disorders. 

Evidence indicates a [[Vitamin B12 deficiency|vitamin B<sub>12</sub> deficiency]] can also cause symptoms characteristic of mania and psychosis.<ref name="imajvitaminb12">{{cite journal |vauthors=Masalha R, Chudakov B, Muhamad M, Rudoy I, Volkov I, Wirguin I |title=Cobalamin-responsive psychosis as the sole manifestation of vitamin B<sub>12</sub> deficiency |journal=Israeli Medical Association Journal |volume=3 |year=2001 |pages=701–703 |url=http://www.ima.org.il/imaj/dynamic/web/ArtFromPubmed.asp?year=2001&month=09&page=701 |access-date=2009-09-12 |archive-date=2012-03-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120307014434/http://www.ima.org.il/imaj/dynamic/web/ArtFromPubmed.asp?year=2001&month=09&page=701 |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[Hyperthyroidism]] can produce similar symptoms to those of mania, such as agitation, elevated mood, increased energy, hyperactivity, sleep disturbances and sometimes, especially in severe cases, psychosis.<ref>{{MedlinePlusEncyclopedia|000356|Hyperthyroidism}}</ref><ref>{{EMedicine|article|121865|Hyperthyroidism}}</ref>
[[Postpartum psychosis]] can also cause manic episodes ([[unipolar mania]]).

== Signs and symptoms ==
A ''manic episode'' is defined in the [[American Psychiatric Association]]'s [[DSM-5|diagnostic manual]] (DSM) as a "distinct period of abnormally and persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood and abnormally and persistently increased activity or energy, lasting at least 1 week and present most of the day, nearly every day (or any duration, if hospitalization is necessary),"<ref>{{cite web |date=September 2016 |website=PsychiatryOnline |publisher=American Psychiatric Association Publishing |url=http://psychiatryonline.org/pb-assets/dsm/update/DSM5Update2016.pdf |title=DSM-5 Update: Supplement to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition |access-date=2017-04-19 |archive-date=2020-08-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803065243/https://psychiatryonline.org/pb-assets/dsm/update/DSM5Update2016.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> where the mood is not caused by drugs/medication or a non-mental medical illness (e.g., [[hyperthyroidism]]), and: (a) is causing obvious difficulties at work or in social relationships and activities, or (b) requires admission to hospital to protect the person or others, or (c) the person has [[psychosis]].<ref name="DSMIV">{{cite web |title=Manic Episode |url=https://www.behavenet.com/manic-episode |access-date=4 July 2024 |website=behavenet.com}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

To be classified as a manic episode, while the disturbed mood and an increase in goal-directed activity or energy is present, at least three (or four, if only irritability is present) of the following must have been consistently present:
 
# Inflated self-esteem or [[grandiosity]]. 
# Decreased need for sleep (e.g., feels rested after 3 hours of sleep). 
# [[Thought disorder|More talkative than usual]], or acts pressured to keep talking.
# [[Flight of Ideas|Flights of ideas]] or subjective experience that [[Racing thoughts|thoughts are racing]]. 
# Increase in goal-directed activity, or [[Psychomotor agitation|psychomotor acceleration]]. 
# [[Distractibility]] (too easily drawn to unimportant or irrelevant external [[Stimulus (psychology)|stimuli]]). 
# Excessive involvement in activities with a high likelihood of painful consequences. (e.g., extravagant shopping, improbable commercial schemes, [[hypersexuality]]).<ref name=DSMIV />

Though the activities one participates in while in a manic state are not ''always'' negative, those with the potential to have negative outcomes are more common.

If the person is concurrently depressed, they are said to be having a [[mixed episode]].<ref name=DSMIV />

The [[World Health Organization]]'s [[International Classification of Diseases]] (ICD) defines ''a manic episode'' as one where mood is higher than the person's situation warrants and may vary from relaxed high spirits to barely controllable exuberance, is accompanied by hyperactivity, a compulsion to speak, a reduced sleep requirement, difficulty sustaining attention, and/or often increased distractibility. Frequently, confidence and self-esteem are excessively enlarged, and grand, extravagant ideas are expressed. Behavior that is out-of-character and risky, foolish or inappropriate may result from a loss of normal social restraint.<ref name=ICD>{{cite web|url=http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2010/en#/F30|title=Manic episode|access-date=18 November 2016|archive-date=2 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141102133725/http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2010/en#/F30|url-status=live}}</ref>

Some people also have physical symptoms, such as [[Perspiration|sweating]], pacing, and [[weight loss]]. In full-blown mania, often the manic person will feel as though their goal(s) are of paramount importance, that there are no consequences, or that negative consequences would be minimal, and that they need not exercise restraint in the pursuit of what they are after.<ref>[[DSM-IV]]</ref> [[Hypomania]] is different, as it may cause little or no impairment in function. The hypomanic person's connection with the external world, and its standards of interaction, remain intact, although intensity of moods is heightened. But those with prolonged unresolved hypomania do run the risk of developing full mania, and may do so without even realizing they have.<ref>AJ Giannini. ''Biological Foundations of Clinical Psychiatry'', NY Medical Examination Publishing Company, 1986.</ref>

One of the signature symptoms of mania (and to a lesser extent, [[hypomania]]) is what many have described as [[racing thoughts]]. These are usually instances in which the manic person is excessively distracted by objectively unimportant stimuli.<ref>Lakshmi N. Ytham, Vivek Kusumakar, Stanley P. Kutchar. (2002). ''Bipolar Disorder: A Clinician's Guide to Biological Treatments'', page 3.</ref> This experience creates an absent-mindedness where the manic individual's thoughts totally preoccupy them, making them unable to keep track of time, or be aware of anything besides the flow of thoughts. Racing thoughts also interfere with the ability to fall asleep.

Manic states are always relative to the normal state of intensity of the affected individual; thus, already irritable patients may find themselves losing their tempers even more quickly, and an academically gifted person may, during the hypomanic stage, adopt seemingly "genius" characteristics and an ability to perform and articulate at a level far beyond that which they would be capable of during [[Euthymia (medicine)|euthymia]]. A very simple indicator of a manic state would be if a thus far clinically depressed patient suddenly becomes inordinately energetic, enthusiastic, cheerful, aggressive, or "over-happy". Other, often less obvious, elements of mania include delusions (generally of either [[Grandiose delusions|grandeur]] or [[Persecutory delusion|persecution]], according to whether the predominant mood is euphoric or irritable), hypersensitivity, [[hypervigilance]], hypersexuality, hyper-religiosity, hyperactivity and impulsivity, a compulsion to over explain (typically accompanied by pressure of speech), grandiose schemes and ideas, and a decreased need for sleep (for example, feeling rested after only 3 or 4 hours of sleep). In the case of the latter, the eyes of such patients may both look and seem abnormally "wide open", rarely blinking, and may contribute to some clinicians' erroneous belief that these patients are under the influence of a stimulant drug, when the patient, in fact, is either not on any mind-altering substances or is actually on a depressant drug. Individuals may also engage in out-of-character behavior during the episode, such as questionable business transactions, wasteful expenditures of money (e.g., spending sprees), risky sexual activity, abuse of recreational substances, excessive gambling, reckless behavior (such as extreme speeding or other daredevil activity), abnormal social interaction (e.g., over-familiarity and conversing with strangers), or highly vocal arguments. These behaviours may increase stress in personal relationships, lead to problems at work, and increase the risk of altercations with law enforcement. There is a high risk of impulsively taking part in activities potentially harmful to the self and others.<ref name="pmid23489397">{{cite journal |vauthors=Fletcher K, Parker G, Paterson A, Synnott H | title = High-risk behaviour in hypomanic states | journal = J Affect Disord | volume = 150 | issue = 1 | pages = 50–6 | year = 2013 | pmid = 23489397 | doi = 10.1016/j.jad.2013.02.018 }}</ref><ref name="pmid23352318">{{cite journal |vauthors=Pawlak J, Dmitrzak-Węglarz M, Skibińska M, Szczepankiewicz A, Leszczyńska-Rodziewicz A, Rajewska-Rager A, Maciukiewicz M, Czerski P, Hauser J | title = Suicide attempts and psychological risk factors in patients with bipolar and unipolar affective disorder | journal = Gen Hosp Psychiatry | volume = 35 | issue = 3 | pages = 309–13 | year = 2013 | pmid = 23352318 | doi = 10.1016/j.genhosppsych.2012.11.010 }}</ref>

The experience of mania is often quite unpleasant and sometimes frightening, for the person involved and for those close to them, and it may lead to impulsive behaviour that may later be regretted. It can also often be complicated by the individual's lack of judgment and insight regarding periods of exacerbation of characteristic states. Manic patients may frequently deny anything is wrong with them.<ref name=":1">{{Citation |last1=Dailey |first1=Mark W. |title=Mania |date=2023 |url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK493168/ |work=StatPearls |access-date=2023-12-29 |place=Treasure Island (FL) |publisher=StatPearls Publishing |pmid=29630220 |last2=Saadabadi |first2=Abdolreza |archive-date=2024-01-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240111090418/https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK493168/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Because mania frequently encourages high energy and decreased perception of need or ability to sleep, within a few days of a manic cycle, sleep-deprived [[psychosis]] may appear, further complicating the ability to think clearly. 

Mania may also, as earlier mentioned, be divided into three "stages". Stage I corresponds with hypomania and may feature typical hypomanic characteristics, such as [[Sociality|gregariousness]] and [[euphoria]]. In stages II and III mania, however, the patient may be extraordinarily irritable, [[psychotic]] or even [[delirium|delirious]]. These latter two stages are referred to as acute and delirious (or Bell's), respectively.

==Causes==
Various triggers have been associated with switching from [[Euthymia (medicine)|euthymic]] or depressed states into mania. One common trigger of mania is [[antidepressant]] therapy. Studies show that the risk of switching while on an antidepressant is between 6-69 percent. Dopaminergic drugs such as reuptake inhibitors and dopamine agonists may also increase risk of switch. Other medications possibly include [[Glutamate|glutaminergic]] agents and drugs that alter the [[Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis|HPA axis]]. Lifestyle triggers include irregular sleep-wake schedules and [[sleep deprivation]], as well as extremely emotional or stressful [[Stimulus (psychology)|stimuli]].<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Salvadore|first1=Giacomo|last2=Quiroz|first2=Jorge A.|last3=Machado-Vieira|first3=Rodrigo|last4=Henter|first4=Ioline D.|last5=Manji|first5=Husseini K.|last6=Zarate|first6=Carlos A.|title=The Neurobiology of the Switch Process in Bipolar Disorder: a Review|journal=The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry|date=Nov 2010|volume=71|issue=11|pages=1488–1501|doi=10.4088/JCP.09r05259gre|issn=0160-6689|pmc=3000635|pmid=20492846}}</ref>

Various genes that have been implicated in genetic studies of bipolar have been manipulated in preclinical animal models to produce syndromes reflecting different aspects of mania. [[CLOCK]] and [[DBP (gene)|DBP]] polymorphisms have been linked to bipolar in population studies, and behavioral changes induced by knockout are reversed by lithium treatment. [[Metabotropic glutamate receptor 6]] has been genetically linked to bipolar, and found to be under-expressed in the cortex. [[Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide]] has been associated with bipolar in gene linkage studies, and knockout in mice produces mania like-behavior. Targets of various treatments such as [[GSK-3]], and [[MAPK3|ERK1]] have also demonstrated mania like behavior in preclinical models.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Sharma|first1=AN|last2=Fries|first2=GR|last3=Galvez|first3=JF|last4=Valvassori|first4=SS|last5=Soares|first5=JC|last6=Carvalho|first6=AF|last7=Quevedo|first7=J|title=Modeling mania in preclinical settings: A comprehensive review.|journal=Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry|date=3 April 2016|volume=66|pages=22–34|doi=10.1016/j.pnpbp.2015.11.001|pmid=26545487|pmc=4728043}}</ref>

[[Deep brain stimulation]] of the [[subthalamic nucleus]] in [[Parkinson's disease]] has been associated with mania, especially with electrodes placed in the ventromedial [[Subthalamic nucleus|STN]].

Manic episodes may be triggered by [[dopamine receptor agonists]], and this combined with tentative reports of increased [[VMAT2]] activity, measured via [[Positron emission tomography|PET scans]] of [[Radioligand binding assay|radioligand binding]], suggests
a role of dopamine in mania. Decreased cerebrospinal fluid levels of the serotonin metabolite [[5-HIAA]] have been found in manic patients too, which may be explained by a failure of [[Serotonin|serotonergic]] regulation and [[dopaminergic]] hyperactivity.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=MANJI|first1=HUSSEINI K|last2=QUIROZ|first2=JORGE A|last3=PAYNE|first3=JENNIFER L|last4=SINGH|first4=JASKARAN|last5=LOPES|first5=BARBARA P|last6=VIEGAS|first6=JENILEE S|last7=ZARATE|first7=CARLOS A|title=The underlying neurobiology of bipolar disorder|journal=World Psychiatry|date=Oct 2003|volume=2|issue=3|pages=136–146|issn=1723-8617|pmc=1525098|pmid=16946919}}</ref>

Limited evidence suggests that mania is associated with behavioral reward hypersensitivity, as well as with neural reward hypersensitivity. Electrophysiological evidence supporting this comes from studies associating left frontal [[Electroencephalography|EEG]] activity with mania. As left frontal EEG activity is generally thought to be a reflection of [[Gray's biopsychological theory of personality|behavioral activation system]] activity, this is thought to support a role for reward hypersensitivity in mania. Tentative evidence also comes from one study that reported an association between manic traits and feedback negativity during receipt of monetary reward or loss. Neuroimaging evidence during acute mania is sparse, but one study reported elevated [[orbitofrontal cortex]] activity to monetary reward, and another study reported elevated striatal activity to reward omission. The latter finding was interpreted in the context of either elevated baseline activity (resulting in a null finding of reward hypersensitivity), or reduced ability to discriminate between reward and punishment, still supporting reward hyperactivity in mania.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Nusslock|first1=Robin|last2=Young|first2=Christina B.|last3=Damme|first3=Katherine S.

==Diagnosis==

In the [[ICD-10]], there are several disorders with the manic syndrome: organic manic disorder ({{ICD10|F|06|30}}), mania without psychotic symptoms ({{ICD10|F|30|1}}), mania with psychotic symptoms ({{ICD10|F|30|2}}), other manic episodes ({{ICD10|F|30|8}}), unspecified manic episode ({{ICD10|F|30|9}}), manic type of [[schizoaffective disorder]] ({{ICD10|F|25|0}}), [[bipolar disorder]], current episode manic without psychotic symptoms ({{ICD10|F|31|1}}), bipolar affective disorder, current episode manic with psychotic symptoms ({{ICD10|F|31|2}}).<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 1988 |title=Organic Causes of Mania |url=https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196%2812%2962694-9/pdf |access-date=April 27, 2024 |website=mayoclinicproceedings.org |archive-date=November 27, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221127183605/https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(12)62694-9/pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Treatment ==
Before beginning treatment for mania, careful [[differential diagnosis]] must be performed to rule out secondary causes.

Acute mania is considered a medical emergency.<ref>https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/clinical-textbook-of-mood-disorders/an-update-on-the-treatment-of-manic-and-hypomanic-states/E698A43E697473E93EF93238F238BE46</ref> The acute treatment of a manic episode of [[bipolar disorder]] involves the utilization of either a [[mood stabilizer]] (e.g.,[[carbamazepine]], [[valproate]], [[Lithium (medication)|lithium]], or [[lamotrigine]]) or an [[atypical antipsychotic]] (e.g., [[olanzapine]], [[quetiapine]], [[risperidone]], [[aripiprazole]], or [[cariprazine]]).<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Pacchiarotti |first1=I. |last2=Anmella |first2=G. |last3=Colomer |first3=L. |last4=Vieta |first4=E. |date=September 2020 |title=How to treat mania |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acps.13209 |journal=Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica |language=en |volume=142 |issue=3 |pages=173–192 |doi=10.1111/acps.13209 |pmid=33460070 |s2cid=221616169 |issn=0001-690X |access-date=2022-04-20 |archive-date=2022-08-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220809161811/https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acps.13209 |url-status=live |url-access=subscription }}</ref> In 2024, [[iloperidone]] was approved by the [[Food and Drug Administration|FDA]] for the acute treatment of manic episodes related to [[bipolar I disorder]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-04-02 |title=FDA Approves Fanapt for Mixed, Manic Episodes Associated With Bipolar I Disorder |url=https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/fda-approves-fanapt-for-mixed-manic-episodes-associated-with-bipolar-i-disorder |access-date=2024-04-27 |website=Psychiatric Times |language=en |archive-date=2024-04-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240427051528/https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/fda-approves-fanapt-for-mixed-manic-episodes-associated-with-bipolar-i-disorder |url-status=live }}</ref> The use of [[antipsychotic]] agents in the treatment of acute mania was reviewed by [[Mauricio Tohen|Tohen]] and [[Eduard Vieta|Vieta]] in 2009.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Tohen|first1=Mauricio|last2=Vieta|first2=Eduard|date=2009|title=Antipsychotic agents in the treatment of bipolar mania |journal=Bipolar Disorders|volume=11|issue=s2|pages=45–54|doi=10.1111/j.1399-5618.2009.00710.x|doi-access=free |issn=1399-5618|pmid=19538685}}</ref>

When the manic behaviours have gone, long-term treatment then focuses on [[prophylactic]] treatment to try to stabilize the patient's mood, typically through a combination of [[pharmacotherapy]] and [[psychotherapy]].<ref name=":1" /> The likelihood of having a relapse is very high for those who have experienced two or more episodes of mania or depression. While medication for bipolar disorder is important to manage symptoms of mania and depression, studies show relying on medications alone is not the most effective method of treatment. Medication is most effective when used in combination with other bipolar disorder treatments, including [[psychotherapy]], self-help coping strategies, and healthy lifestyle choices.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.helpguide.org/mental/bipolar_disorder_medications.htm/ |title=The Bipolar Medication Guide |author1=Melinda Smith |author2=Lawrence Robinson |author3=Jeanne Segal |author4=Damon Ramsey |publisher=HelpGuide.org |date=1 March 2012 |access-date=23 March 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310190007/http://helpguide.org/mental/bipolar_disorder_medications.htm |archive-date=10 March 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Novick |first1=Danielle M. |last2=Swartz |first2=Holly A. |date=2019 |title=Evidence-Based Psychotherapies for Bipolar Disorder |journal=Focus: Journal of Life Long Learning in Psychiatry |volume=17 |issue=3 |pages=238–248 |doi=10.1176/appi.focus.20190004 |issn=1541-4094 |pmc=6999214 |pmid=32047369}}</ref>

[[Lithium (medication)|Lithium]] is the classic [[mood stabilizer]] to prevent further manic and depressive episodes.

In some cases, long-acting [[benzodiazepine]]s, particularly [[clonazepam]], are used after other options are exhausted. In more urgent circumstances, such as in emergency rooms, [[lorazepam]], combined with [[haloperidol]], is used to promptly alleviate symptoms of agitation, [[aggression]], and [[psychosis]].

[[Antidepressant]] monotherapy is not recommended for the treatment of depression in patients with bipolar disorders I or II, and no benefit has been demonstrated by combining antidepressants with mood stabilizers in these patients. Some [[Atypical antidepressant|atypical antidepressants]], however, such as [[mirtazapine]] and [[trazodone]], have been occasionally used after other options have failed.<ref name=Nierenberg>{{cite journal | author = Nierenberg AA | title = A critical appraisal of treatments for bipolar disorder | journal = Primary Care Companion to the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry | volume = 12 | issue = Suppl 1 | pages = 23–29 | year = 2010 | pmid = 20628503 | pmc = 2902191 | doi = 10.4088/PCC.9064su1c.04 }}</ref>
