Symptoms of a Manic Episode

WHEN YOU'RE MANIC...

• You feel high as a kite... like you're "on top of the world".

• You get unreal ideas about the great things you can do... things that you really can't do.

• Thoughts go racing through your head; you jump from one subject to another, and you talk a lot.

• You're a non-stop party, constantly running around.

• You do too many wild or risky things: with driving, with spending money, with sex, etc.

• You're so "up" that you don't need much sleep.

• You're rebellious or irritable and can't get along at home or school, or with your friends
