manické

Manické refers to a condition characterized by a state of elevated mood, increased energy, and a reduced need for sleep. It is a core feature of bipolar disorder, specifically manic episodes. During a manic episode, individuals may experience euphoria, irritability, racing thoughts, and a tendency towards impulsive behavior. Their speech can be rapid and pressured, and they may engage in goal-directed activities with excessive enthusiasm, often leading to significant impairment in social, occupational, or academic functioning. Judgment can be impaired, and individuals may take on risky ventures.

The duration of a manic episode can vary, typically lasting for at least a week, though shorter periods are possible if symptoms are severe enough to require hospitalization. While often associated with periods of intense happiness or excitement, mania can also manifest as extreme irritability or anger. Alongside the psychological symptoms, physical manifestations such as increased motor activity and decreased need for sleep are common. Manické states are a serious medical condition requiring professional diagnosis and treatment, which often includes mood stabilizers and other psychiatric medications, as well as psychotherapy.
