What is "mania"?
Mania is a mental state characterized by an intense and extended period of heightened mood, energy, and activity levels. During a manic episode, individuals may feel extremely excited or excessively happy. They may also experience increased confidence, talkativeness, racing thoughts, and a lessened need for sleep. Mania can lead to impulsive or risky behaviors, such as excessive spending, reckless driving, or engaging in sexual activity. In serious cases, mania can harm judgment and interfere with daily functioning. Mania is often a symptom of bipolar disorder, but it can also occur in other mental health conditions. Treatment typically involves medication and therapy to control mood and manage symptoms.
