WikiProject Pharmacology or the Pharmacology Portal may be able to help recruit one.If a more appropriate WikiProject or portal exists, please adjust this template accordingly.This article is an expansion of a section entitled Mania from within the main article Bipolar disorder.For other uses, see Manic (disambiguation).Most recent episode manic, 296.Mania is a severe medical condition characterized by extremely elevated mood, energy, and unusual thought patterns.Mania and hypomania have also been associated with creativity and artistic talent.Mild forms of mania, known as hypomania, cause little or no impairment, but most people who suffer from prolonged hypomania due to bipolar disorder develop full mania.Another symptom of mania is racing thoughts during which the sufferer is excessively distracted by unimportant stimuli.In manic and less severe hypomanic cases, the afflicted person may engage in out of character behavior such as questionable business transactions, wasteful expenditures of money, risky sexual activity, abnormal social interaction, or highly vocal arguments uncharacteristic of previous behaviors.It can also often be complicated by the sufferer's lack of judgment and insight regarding periods of exacerbation of symptoms.Manic patients are frequently grandiose, obsessive, impulsive, irritable, belligerent, and frequently deny anything is wrong with them.Racing thoughts and misperceptions lead to frustration and decreased ability to communicate with others.However, a more serious state of mania may involve lack of good judgment, lack of ability to focus, and even psychosis.Mania can be experienced at the same time as depression, in a mixed episode.This has caused speculation amongst doctors that mania and depression are two independent axes in a bipolar spectrum, rather than opposites.In hypomania there is less need for sleep, goal motivated behavior and increased metabolism.Though the elevated mood and energy level typical of hypomania could be seen as a benefit, mania generally has many undesirable consequences,suicide (2007).Associated disorders
A single manic episode is sufficient to diagnose Bipolar I Disorder.Hypomania may be indicative of Bipolar II Disorder or Cyclothymia.However, if prominent psychotic symptoms are present for a duration significantly longer than the mood episode, a diagnosis of Schizoaffective Disorder is more appropriate.It may be necessary to temporarily admit the patient involuntarily until the patient is stabilized.Antipsychotics and mood stabilizers help stabilize mood of those with mania or depression.They work by blocking the receptor for the neurotransmitter dopamine and allowing serotonin to still work, but in diminished capacity.Lithium is the classic mood stabilizer to prevent further manic and depressive episodes.Anticonvulsants such as valproic acid and carbamazepine are also used for prophylaxis.The temporal lobe is involved in speech, listening, reading, word association and contains the amygdala, the almond shaped emotional center for the brain.The left amygdala is more active in women who are manic and the orbitofrontal cortex is less active (2005).Emotional stimulation creates the ability for life events to be stored more vividly in the memory.In women, the amygdala becomes similar to one of a manic woman during sex combined with menstruation.Because the hormone problem stems from a neurological problem hormone therapy isn't the best solution.If serotonin levels are stable, hormones secreted by the pituitary gland will stabilize.Bipolar disorder is similar to a thought disorder combined with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.In the study done by Brentwood VA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, antidepressants were taken during mania.One third of bipolar patients developed antidepressant induced mania from their healthy state and one fourth developed antidepressant induced rapid cycling from their healthy state.Edward Hebert School of Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland.Pharmacopsychiatry 1988 stated:

Walker; to psychiatrists Dr.Areteus, in the second century A.Switching from one mood to another is referred to
as a mood swing.Mood swings can be mild, moderate or severe and are accompanied
by changes in thinking and behaviour.The course of the illness varies
from patient to patient.Modern treatment and community supports have done much to create possibilities
for optimal adjustment to this illness.Depressive Illness
Depression or mania is diagnosed if a person demonstrates a certain
number of symptoms.Interestingly, a mood change is not a necessary symptom
for the diagnosis of depression or mania.Depressive Episode
How long a person remains depressed or manic varies and usually ranges
from a few days to several months.The intervals between episodes range
from days to months to years.Before 1940 the average duration of a depressive episode
was about four months, of a manic episode about three months.Onset
The first episode of manic depressive illness usually occurs in young adulthood.Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Winston Churchill were all reported to
have experienced manic episodes followed by black periods of depression.Much research has also focused on such physiological aspects
as brain chemistry, the endocrine and the hormonal systems.Treatments would also include euthanasia, exotic potions, bloodletting,
and electric eels applied to the skull.This orientation has few adherents
today due to the lack of good results without the use of medication.Meanwhile, patients were also treated medically.Before the 1950's the
most severely disturbed patients were managed in relatively isolated institutions.Medication
The response to medication varies with each person.Still others may need to take medication for the rest of their lives much
like diabetics who take insulin regularly during their entire lives.There are no dietary restrictions when on tricyclic antidepressants.Nowadays, the use of MAOI is the treatment of choice for
some people suffering from depression.These are generally foods that
are aged, spoiled, fermented or pickled.It is advisable to have any other medication cleared by the physician prescribing
the MAOI.Both MAOI's and tricyclics usually take several weeks to be effective.Others may notice improvement before the patient does.Tranquilizers
Tranquilizers fall into two groups:
i.Major Tranquilizers
These tranquilizers are associated with antipsychotic drugs which are especially
useful in the management of such psychotic symptoms as delusions and hallucinations.Or, it may have to do with feelings of great power, as in saving the world
from some plight.Side effects of major tranquilizers include influences on the nervous
system which, in turn, result in tremors, rigidity or restlessness.Both patient and doctor must carefully weigh and consider
the benefits and risks of embarking on such a route.They are also useful in temporarily sedating acutely
agitated, psychotic or manic patients.Early in the century bromides were commonly used as antianxiety agents.Benzodiazepines include such trade names
as Librium, Valium, Xanax, and Ativan.Tranquilizers
Two of the most common side effects of antidepressants and major tranquilizers
include drowsiness and dry mouth.Sucking on sugarless candy or sugarless
gum can be helpful.Common side effects of minor tranquilizers include drowsiness, blurred
vision, muscle weakness and slurred speech.There were three deaths and several poisonings
attributed to excessive doses of Lithium in 1949.Instead, they became very lethargic.Starting in 1957, the Danish psychiatrist Mogens Schou campaigned to
bring Lithium to world attention.Lithium reported in the cardiac patients of 1949.Lithium made its debut to the psychiatric profession
in the U.Doses of Lithium are gradually increased so as to minimize any side
effects that might occur at the beginning of treatment.Lithium are taken regularly to ensure appropriate dosage.If a patient forgets a dose of Lithium, he or she should not double
the next.Many doctors have prescribed it with good results.After this period it is unlikely that one will
experience side effects of any consequence.Diet
A well balanced diet is usually enough to maintain normal salt levels in
the body.Moderate amounts of coffee or tea can be tolerated.Lithium levels in the body.Pregnancy
Lithium is not used in the early months of pregnancy and is only used with
caution or discontinued altogether before term.Lithium is not recommended as Lithium is excreted in the breast
milk.There are some subtypes of affective disorders where
treatment is more difficult.Although some of these patients do well on Lithium, often there is poor
response to Lithium.Tricyclic antidepressants, MAOI's and possibly even
Lithium may in some cases contribute to rapid cycling.As an underactive thyroid can contribute to rapid cycling, tests and
thyroid supplementations may be in order.ECT is ordinarily given three times a week.ECT (or every six weeks).Regarding memory loss, experts agree that there may be short term memory
loss with unilateral ECT which lasts a few days following treatment.Psychotherapy
Historically, prior to the use of effective medication, individuals
were often treated with psychotherapy.After the introduction of Lithium
and antidepressants some medical professionals saw psychotherapy as unnecessary.Pills cannot, do not, ease
one back into reality.They bring you back headlong, careening, and faster
than can be endured at times.The chief goal of all therapy is to relieve stress and promote
personal growth and development.The process of such certification varies according to government requirements.Initial Phase
In the first stage of hospitalization, which usually lasts 13 weeks,
the patient is often acutely ill.The first priority of the staff is to
maintain safety and ensure adequate food and liquid intake.The family may need support in dealing with the hospitalization.During this phase the patient may become more involved in activity or
discussion groups that are offered.It also serves as a time to assess readiness for discharge.During this period the patient often starts evaluating the whole process
of the illness, hospitalization, and prospects for the future.Liaisons with support resources may also be made at this time.Post Discharge
The frequency and intensity of followup care depends on the patient's
individual needs.With individuals who have lost confidence in the work field, focus may
be on vocational assessment and rehabilitation.More on this in the section: Family Considerations).In other cases, however, such persistence of withdrawal reflects a more
severe form of depression.Regarding manic episodes, one may feel embarrassed or insecure about
some of the things said or done while manic.To do otherwise is to invite feelings
of being overwhelmed.Denial, however, can be dangerous as it can lead to a refusal
to recognize early signs of a relapse.He's able to ride the waves way better
than if he hadn't 'accepted'.The graphic and text on the next page offer some guidelines for achieving
balance in living activities.Such planning can do much
in preventing misunderstandings and in minimizing stress later on.They may experience anger if they see the individual as malingering
or manipulative.There is grieving over lost hopes and dreams.The family may have to grapple with whether
they want to place such emphasis on these values.Finally, anxiety may be ever present as family members grow to continually
anticipate a change of mood, a return of symptoms.There is little energy left to invest
in other potentially satisfying relationships or rewarding activities.Siblings may experience jealously if too much attention is devoted to
the ill member and not enough to themselves.To deal with feelings of
resentment and guilt, siblings spend more time away from the family.Changes Within Family Structure
Regardless of which family member is ill, role relationships often shift
in response to the illness.If a sibling is ill, other siblings may have to take on the role
of caretaker when parents are away.The illness has no clearcut beginning or end.The family must start taking into account the limitations of
the mental health system both in terms of knowledge base and resources.Establishing clear expectations and structure within the family does
much to reduce stress.Plans might include how the person would like to deal with the
situation.Special emphasis is on assuring time to pursue one's own interests.The rest of the family need their sleep.If you can't stop playing
after 10:30 p.Avoid unnecessary nagging and criticisms.This sense of control
helps, in turn, to preserve a sense of inner security.Canadian Mental Health Association
