Mania, also known as manic syndrome, is a mental and behavioral disorder[1] defined as a state of abnormally elevated arousal, affect, and energy level, or "a state of heightened overall activation with enhanced affective expression together with lability of affect."[2] During a manic episode, an individual will experience rapidly changing emotions and moods, highly influenced by surrounding stimuli. Although mania is often conceived as a "mirror image" to depression, the heightened mood can be either euphoric or dysphoric.[3] As the mania intensifies, irritability can be more pronounced and result in anxiety or anger.
